🚨New🚨 To prescribe supramaximal training (beyond VO2max) Which test is best? • Maximal aerobic speed (MAS) • 30-15? • Anaerobic Speed Reserve (MAS + Maximal Sprint Speed)? Study insights explained⬇️

Plenty of speculation that ASR better prescribes supramaximal interval running than MAS Our paper indicates ASR ↓ supramaximal interval running variability, assisting similar physiological demand across athletes bit.ly/3mQXMFn 𝗛𝗜𝗜𝗧 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 Tom Debenedictis Jay Collison
