Time to exhaustion at FTP varies according to performance level, with pro's lasting 16 min (45%) longer than recreational cyclists on average. doi.org/10.1016/j.jsams.2022…

Of course, time to exhaustion itself has a high variability, so it would be interesting to see this factored it too.

If you could only pick one study about training and the training process to discuss which would you choose? I'd pick, Hickson et al. (1977). But I'm curious about your suggestions? journals.physiology.org/doi/…

Linear increase in aerobic power induced by a strenuous program of endurance exercise | Journal of...

Eight subjects exercised for 40 min/day, 6 days/wk for 10 wk. For 3 days/wk they performed six 5-min intervals of bicycling on an ergometer against a resistance that elicited VO2 max, separated by...

Great insights into the debated role of carbohydrate availability in this study pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3586… and nicely summarised by @sweatscience outsideonline.com/health/tra…

Together, these results support an important role of muscle glycogen availability for high-intensity exercise performance, which may be mediated by reductions in single-fiber levels, particularly in...

I’m increasingly aware of the gender bias in Sport Sciences. Great topic, great panel…but where’s all the girls at?

What is the evidence for training load as a "dose" to the training "response"? Do we need to take a step back and critique the validity of the training load concept? @Shaun_McLaren1 reviews this paper from @trainalytics in this month's research review. sportsmith.co/reviews/april-…
