#Durability ≠ #Fatigability ≠ #Repeatability ≠ #Resilience. Our JAP Viewpoint (accepted!) dives into why these distinct concepts matter in endurance research. Grateful for the collab with Michael J Joyner + @billysperlich.bsky.social. Let’s discuss at #ECSS2025 or during the Tour de France!

Zone2 training may not deliver the same benefits for everyone. Our new study found substantial interindividual variability in physiological responses, even among trained cyclists, indicating that personalized intensity prescriptions are necessary. @billysperlich.bsky.social doi.org/10.1155/tsm2...

The world doesn't immediately fall apart at the 1.5 °C limit, but experts say we are "reaching the end of what we thought was a safe zone for humanity". www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Earth breaches 1.5 °C climate limit for the first time: what does it mean?

The threshold has been exceeded for only one year so far, but humanity is nearing the end of what many thought was a ‘safe zone’ as climate change worsens.

VO₂max : So drehen Sie an der magischen Zahl des Sports

Kein Wert korreliert so stark mit der Lebenserwartung wie der VO₂max-Wert. Das Gute: Man kann ihn steigern und sein Sterberisiko senken. Und das ist gar nicht so schwer.
