Power output adaptation variability was associated with differential VO2max gains; hypothesis-generating for personalized training targets pending randomized trials.
Does a standardized 20-week cycle ergometer training program improve VO2max in healthy, sedentary individuals?
Individuals exercising at the same relative heart rate intensity exhibit substantial variability in power output adaptation and subsequent improvements in VO2max.
Skinner et al. (2000) studied this question.
