18. Mark Burnley - Thresholds, oxygen uptake and critical power (English)

Mark Burnley is an exercise scientist who among other things has been a part of developing the understanding of the critical power/critical speed concept in endurance exercise. Mark talks us through his early research into the bioenergetics of exercise and how oxygen priming can be used as an effective performance strategy in endurance sports. We also discuss the domains of exercise (moderate, heavy, severe); what distinguishes them and how the concept of critical power fits in. The episode also features a description of how the 3-minute all out test to determine critical power and W’ was invented. Tyngre Distans är en podd helt om konditionsidrott av och med William Valkeaoja. Du som lyssnar får gärna betygsätta den på Apple Podcasts – lämna gärna en recension.
