Perspectives #38: Training Intensity Distributions, NIRS, and Iliac Arteries, with Jem Arnold
Feb 23, 2025
Jem Arnold, a PhD candidate and physiotherapist acclaimed for his blog, Spare Cycles, dives deep into the complexities of training intensity distributions and their effects on VO2max and time trial performance. He reveals insights from a meta-review he co-authored and discusses the statistical challenges in sports performance analysis. Jem also elaborates on the significance of iliac artery flow limitations, using near-infrared spectroscopy for assessment, and emphasizes the need for tailored training approaches to maximize athletic potential.
