Aerobic vs anaerobic power isn't just sports-science jargon—it's the operating manual for your training and daily life. Dr. Marc Humbert and Dr. Cameron Garber break down how your body produces ATP through the ATP-PC, glycolytic, and oxidative systems, why "power" (max rate) and "capacity" (how long) are different, and how CardioCoach metabolic testing (VO₂, VCO₂, fuel use) turns those ideas into precise workouts. We dig into thresholds, "fat max," recovery timelines, the injury trap of single-day spikes, and why frequency → duration → intensity is the safest path—whether you're a lifter, runner, or weekend hockey hero. You'll leave with a practical framework to train what you can actually recover from, build longevity, and still hit top-end performance when it matters.

What you'll learn
  • The difference between metabolic power vs mechanical power

  • How ATP-PC, glycolytic, and oxidative systems overlap in real workouts

  • "Power" vs "capacity" (and why both matter for sport and longevity)

  • Recovery timelines for ATP-PC/creatine and why rest intervals matter

  • How metabolic testing (VO₂ max, thresholds, fuel use) personalizes training

  • Using fat max and thresholds to place Zone 2 and HIIT correctly

  • Why frequency → duration → intensity reduces injuries and burnout

  • How to balance high- and low-intensity work (including when 80/20 is wrong)

  • Sport-specific profiles (powerlifter vs marathoner vs field/court athletes)

  • Cardio that doesn't kill your gains (fuel-sparing zones for lifters)
