Exploring VO2 Kinetics and Critical Power in Endurance Training

The chapter delves into the concepts of VO2 kinetics and Critical Power in relation to endurance training, discussing the phases of oxygen uptake, fast and slow components of VO2 kinetics, and interventions to improve performance. It explores the importance of quickly matching oxygen uptake to energy demands for optimal performance and how endurance training can enhance fast component kinetics. The relationship between fitness level, muscle fiber types, and interventions to reduce the slow component of oxygen uptake are also discussed.
