Maximize Your Mitochondria for Better Endurance Performance! | #78 - Fast Phys 23 ft. Dave Schell
In this of Fast Physiology on the Critical Oxygen Podcast, Dave Schell and I discuss mitochondrial respiration and its importance for endurance training and performance. We discuss the common misconceptions surrounding fatmax and VO2max, especially as it pertains to mitochondrial respiration. We also highlight the significance of both high-intensity and low-intensity training, advocating for a balanced approach to optimize mitochondrial function and overall athletic performance.
TAKEAWAYS
1) Mitochondrial respiration is maximal at VO2 max, not fat max.
2) Fat max is related to the ability to oxidize fats, but not the sole indicator of performance.
3) Zone two training enhances mitochondrial density and fat oxidation.
4) High-intensity interval training significantly increases mitochondrial function.
