Myrkos, A, Smilios, I, Zafeiridis, A, Iliopoulos, S, Kokkinou, EM, Douda, H, and Tokmakidis, SP. Effects of work and recovery duration and their ratio on cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses during aerobic interval exercise. J Strength Cond Res 36(8): 2169-2175, 2022-This study examined the effect of work and recovery durations and of work-to-rest ratio (WRR) on total exercise time and oxygen consumption (V̇ o2 max), on exercise time above 80, 90, and 95% of V̇ o2 max and HRmax, and on blood lactate concentrations during aerobic interval exercise.
