Boosting Aerobic Capacity

Aerobic capacity, or Vo2 Max, declines by 10% per decade after age 25, but engaging in high-intensity interval training can reverse this trend. A study showed that completing 24 classes over eight weeks improved Vo2 Max by 12%, effectively adding a decade back to one's aerobic fitness. The importance of recovery time between workouts is also emphasized, highlighting that integrating cardio independently from sport-specific training can significantly enhance overall performance.
