Science Explained

FatMax, also known as the maximal fat oxidation rate, is a concept used in endurance sports to determine the intensity at which an individual burns the highest amount of fat for energy.

Maximal oxygen uptake, also known as VO2max, is a crucial parameter for high endurance performance. It represents the maximum amount of oxygen that the body can consume and therefore describes the size of the "engine."

The concept of the maximal glycolytic rate in endurance sports refers to the maximum rate at which the body can metabolize glucose through the glycolytic pathway to produce energy in the absence of oxygen.

Body core temperature, in the context of endurance sports, refers to the internal temperature of an athlete’s body. It plays...
