Accumulating the maximum amount of work at a certain output is a better way to stimulate VO2 max improvement than focusing solely on VO2 max.

“so we could think of it this way that okay the reason why we want to grow an engine is because we want to become faster on the one side but then then the when you go out we we you are not measuring V2 Max when you or you're not you're not measuring milliliters per minute or how much oxygen you're consuming when you're doing your exercise now but we know that the higher intensity you go the more oxygen you will consume per time okay so then we are saying that now we're providing a stimulus to the body to saying that we need more oxygen you need to respond you need to respond to this and basically facilitate this moving forward”

“when you're doing this exercise then I think that uh but the good thing with V2 is that of course that we're measuring a quantity we're measuring a volume of something it's much in the same way when we when we talk about power versus work so you talk about work for example So when you say to so to make this a little bit more practical So when you say that okay I want to basically do my V2 max workouts”
