Conditioning question and discussion Posted: 04 Apr 2021 12:32 AM PDT So, I just ended Barbell Medicine's conditioning program and I got curious into what is conditioning. I found out after a few days of research that conditioning is extremely important for any kind of athlete since it builds work capacity, basically how much work can you do. The more work can you do, the higher intensity, frequency and volume you can have. Also it will impact directly your recovery which, again, means more possible work. Awesome, right? By digging deeper and deeper I found out that it also increase Lactate Threshold, builds Oxygen Capacity, increases VO₂ MAX which is important since this increase: maximum oxygen uptake in all muscle fibers capillaries to all muscle fiber types ability to slow the build-up of waste products (not just lactic acid) that will slow down your performance and, also, last but not least cardiovascular health. Now, this all is amazing, and we get to my question(s) here: Why conditioning is not more pushed between athletes? How much can you really improve your genetic set point on VO₂ MAX, work capacity et cetera? Why VO₂ MAX and other factors are still considered controversial in terms of health indication? By looking at some metas, especially since everything I found before Also by looking at most papers, research is mostly done on youth and the impact of aerobic and anaerobic training in early age. Why is that? Is it possible to close the gap in adults too and reach an incrementation of work capacity, lactate threshold et cetera like the gap between strenght-speed and speed-strenght?
