Hi forum,

I am almost certain it has been discussed, but just cannot find it… What is the physiology behind VO2 max work in building aerobic capacity? Do these belong in the list?:

  • Muscle capillarization (sp?)
  • Glycogen storage and refill capacity

anything else?

Thanks!

Some VO2max related discussion. Not sure if it hits your particular questions, but could be worth review:

LOL, happy to help. I take shortcuts on mobile too, and try to come back when I have PC access. I just like giving direct connected info where possible.

I appreciate the link too. I use that same page as reference for my Google Sheet, but I have ignored that table until you posted it. I love the detail it covers and it is better than the one I have seen from FasCat Coaching (that is focused a bit more on SS).

I am not sure about ST muscle hypertrophy though.

How vo2max workouts contribute to ST fiber hypertrophy. I would expect FT fibers to fatigue before ST start to sweat H+
