On event for one individual -the anecdote- should not translate into population based decision making (Ratzan SC, 2002)

@AnonPablo Muchas gracias por sus palabras, @AnonPablo. Es muy gratificante saber que aquella colaboración ha generado interés entre profesionales de su trayectoria. Comentarios como el suyo se valoran especialmente.

Los intervalos largos (≥2 min) generan mayor tiempo ≥90–95% VO₂máx. Un hallazgo consistente con nuestra hipótesis basada en la cinética del VO₂: https://t.co/87On1Wlz2Q

[José López Chicharro @ChicharroJL]

¿CUÁL ES EL HIIT MÁS EFICAZ PARA MEJORAR EL VO₂MÁX?
La evidencia reciente sugiere que:
• intervalos ≥ 2 min
• intensidad variable dentro del intervalo
permiten acumular más tiempo cerca del VO₂máx.
Y ese tiempo parece ser una de las claves de las adaptaciones aeróbicas.
¿Entrenamos demasiado corto cuando buscamos mejorar resistencia?

@JoseBrasiliano @pfemilio @sjannas @ArturoCasadoAld Thank you for your interest, José. I would be more than happy to share a copy with you for your professional review. Please feel free to send me your email via DM, or, you can reach out to me directly at [email protected] and I will forward the paper to you right away.

HIIT isn’t universally “better” than continuous training
☑️but across 115 randomized trials (n=3,196), it produced greater gains in VO2max, while thresholds and overall physical performance were broadly similar

Lactate Party con @Santiago_rbl 🏃

[Tadej Debevec @DebevecTadej]

Lactate accumulates in the cerebrospinal fluid after prolonged exercise

[David Bishop (🦋 also bluespotscience.bsky.social) @BlueSpotScience]

More evidence that lactate is not just a metabolic intermediate, but also has an important role in exercise-induced signaling https://t.co/u10eW0gIxS

🚨 NEW RESEARCH OUT! 🚨
Our study in @HealthcareMDPI_ validates the Spanish PRETIE-Q and shows that age-based BST boosts tolerance to exercise intensity and improves functional performance.

🔝 Outstanding team led by @pfemilio.

🚨RESEARCH ALERT!🚨
RT experience does not influence the accuracy of estimating RIRs in the back squat (supported by MPV and RPE). Previous familiarity with high-level effort may play a key role🏋️‍♂️
Great team led by @pfemilio

@BlueSpotScience A valuable consensus on exercise intensity and effort terminology in endurance and RT, extending beyond sport to applications for the general population — a direction we highlighted in our recent 2023 review: https://t.co/UkaejzZQh6

Professionals be cautious when reporting results using plastic calipers despite the very high relationship with HSC because SGSC yields lower Σ6SF and consequently underestimates %BF according to classical equations.

The middle section of a simulated 200-m freestyle swimming event imposes high BLa levels at near metabolic steady state, which is likely to occur in a race given the similar performance time.
