Optimizing Muscle Fiber Recruitment and Training Intensity

The chapter explores the importance of training intensity levels and duration for optimal muscle fiber recruitment during endurance rides. It discusses the necessity of varying intensity levels to recruit all muscle fiber types and the impact of exercise duration on motor unit recruitment changes. The conversation also covers the significance of periodization in training, adjustments in training intensity based on training phases, and the use of Training Stress Score (TSS) to quantify training load.
