VT2 represents the point at which high-intensity exercise can no longer be sustained due to the accumulation of lactic acid. The Talk Test can be administered in a variety of ways, including reciting …

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse, examine the research validating the talk test as a way of identifying ventilatory markers, particularly the respiratory compensation threshold (RCT), …

Jun 17, 2015 · The second ventilatory threshold (VT2) occurs when the rate of accumulation of lactate in the muscles begins to exceed the ability of the circulatory system to recycle it. Any time an individual …

There is no question that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can be effective but knowing how to use it correctly is paramount for ensuring clients get results without increasing their risk of injury. Learn …

While equations to accurately predict maximal heart rate have improved somewhat since the early days of “220 – Age,” these equations are still pretty unreliable. A new ACE-sponsored study investigates …

As such, alternative options for detecting VT1 and VT2 are necessary to be able to apply threshold-based training to a larger demographic of the population. In the past decade, there has been an …
