Interval exercise typically involves repeated bouts of relatively intense exercise interspersed
by short periods of recovery. A common classification scheme subdivides this method into …

Background Enhancing cardiovascular fitness can lead to substantial health benefits. High-
intensity interval training (HIT) is an efficient way to develop cardiovascular fitness, yet …

Engaging in regular exercise results in a range of physiological adaptations offering benefits
for exercise capacity and health, independent of age, gender or the presence of chronic …

In this review, we argue that several key features of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max)
should underpin discussions about the biological and reductionist determinants of its …

The primary purpose of this narrative review was to evaluate the current literature and to
provide further insight into the role physical inactivity plays in the development of chronic …

Endurance exercise training studies frequently show modest changes in VO2max with
training and very limited responses in some subjects. By contrast, studies using interval …

This article investigates whether there is currently sufficient scientific knowledge for
scientists to be able to give valid training recommendations to longdistance runners and …

Key points This study assessed the respective contributions of haematological and skeletal
muscle adaptations to any observed improvement in peak oxygen uptake () induced by …

This review of the literature provides an update on the scientific biological and psychosocial
