Mark Burnley

Dr. Mark Burnley explains VO2 kinetics and Critical Power, discussing warm-ups, CP assessment, and fatigue management. Topics include muscle fiber training, fatigue resistance, optimal pacing, and critical power testing. The episode highlights the importance of multiple tests for accurate CP measurement and analyzes fatigue development in different exercise domains.

Dr Mark Burnley, an expert on critical power and comparative exercise physiology, discusses the speed-duration relationship in animals. They cover topics such as measuring critical power and lactate threshold, pacing in endurance running, and the comparison of critical speeds across different animal species. They also explore the development of critical power in cycling, the efficiency of avian lungs, and the speed-duration relationship in fish fibers, bird flights, and human comparisons.
