VO2 half-time varies with intensity and training status; leaves open whether faster kinetics improve clinical outcomes or performance.
Does the half time of the VO2 response at the onset of exercise vary with work intensity and training status?
Highly trained individuals exhibit a more rapid oxygen uptake response at the onset of exercise, which may explain slower phosphagen and glycogen depletion.
Hagberg et al. (1978) studied this question.
