AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions acknowledge the validity and relevance of the article, with some referencing the effectiveness of different training models.

InterestModerate interest

Topics like training intensity distribution and references to practical applications generate moderate curiosity among participants.

Comments include sharing of opinions, references to additional studies, and highlighting key concepts like the '80:20' rule, indicating a participatory level of engagement.

ImpactModerate impact

Discussions highlight the importance of understanding training strategies and their effects, suggesting that the article influences training approaches and scientific understanding.

Abstract in brief

  • The research analyzes training intensity distribution (TID) in elite and well-trained endurance athletes, finding that most use a pyramidal TID with lots of low-intensity training, but some adopt a polarized TID with significant high-volume low-intensity and high-intensity training during certain seasons.
  • Emerging studies suggest that a polarized TID may lead to better endurance improvements compared to other approaches focused on high-volume low-intensity or threshold training.
  • The review aims to summarize current findings, compare TID strategies across training phases and performance levels, identify which TID is most effective, and point out areas needing further research.]

(01/11) TID between endurance sport and time of season vary considerably

@emilybatty Great seeing training science discussed among athletes. The “80:20“ maybe a fair reference in #MTB for one athlete but not a universal number for everyone/time of season
