Hickson's Landmark 1977 VO2max Study, Reanalysed | Research Roundup

Hickson's Landmark 1977 VO2max Study, Reanalysed | Research Roundup5. Nov.1 Std. 24 Min.

In today's research roundup we cover four recent studies and help triathletes and other endurance athletes apply them in practice. We have ten years of training diaries from a World Championship medal-winning 800 to 1500 m swimmer, bicarbonate's effect on fatigued efforts in cycling, a fresh reanalysis of Hickson's famous 1977 "linear" VO2max study, and a meta-analysis of 69 trials on just how much time to do in HIIT sessions and continuous endurance sessions before running into diminishing returns.
