6 Physiological Benefits of Sweet Spot Training


Listen Later

Sweet spot vs. zone 2 seems to be the big debate between rides. In our opinion at FasCat, the adaptations we've seen with sweet spot compared to zone 2 are undeniably larger. Therefore, athletes accomplish more with one hour of sweet spot training than they do with one hour of zone 2 training.

In this episode of FasCat, we're going to cover the 6 most prominent physiological adaptations gained through sweet spot training as opposed to lower intensity aerobic training. These adaptations include:

Increased Plasma Volume

Increased Mitochondrial Enzymes

Increased Lactate Threshold

Increased muscle glycogen stores

Increased Stroke Volume

Increased VO2 Max

The proportion of sweet spot training to stimulate those 6 physiological benefits above to the rest of your training hours is described in a "How Much Sweet Spot Should Your Do" training tip and podcast.
