Key result
Training at 100% of heart rate or running speed at the deflection point improves high-intensity metabolic capacities, but half of the subjects could not finish the 40-minute 100% running speed session.
Why the study?
Does training at specific percentages of running speed or heart rate at the Conconi's heart rate deflection point optimize aerobic training loads in intermediate athletes?

May warrant caution with 100% deflection-point sessions due to high incompletion risk; leaves open optimal intensities for endurance training.

Does training at specific percentages of running speed or heart rate at the Conconi's heart rate deflection point optimize aerobic training loads in intermediate athletes?
Training at a constant heart rate using a monitor is an effective method to control training intensity, with 90% of HR at the deflection point being optimal for endurance.
Passelergue et al. (2006) conducted an observational in Healthy physical-education students (n=30). Training at 90% and 100% of running speed (RS) or heart rate (HR) at the heart-rate deflection point vs. Different intensities (RS90, RS100, HR90, HR100) was evaluated on Speed, heart rate, lactate, and cortisol responses. Training at 100% of heart rate or running speed at the deflection point improves high-intensity metabolic capacities, but half of the subjects could not finish the 40-minute 100% running speed session.
