Hickson's Landmark 1977 VO2max Study, Reanalysed | Research Roundup5 Nov1 h 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.
