Tempo, long rest, tempo

The hypoxia I describe is local hypoxic conditions. I’ve taken this information from a text authored by Zhelyazkov and Dasheva (published in 2001) that is used at the NSA. I should also note that Issurin has written about this subject as well.

An example of this:

The local hypoxia is generated, for instance, during exercise which incrementally increases in demand such that the muscle contractions are not allowed a relaxation phase (ergo constant tension) and the intensity/duration surpasses the aerobic processes.

I agree that there are many interpretations of the anaerobic threshold.

If these are in situ, do we have the same observations in vivo, too?

Are we talking about tetanic contractions then during exercise? And at what point are we surpassing the aerobic processes?

Anyway, I think we’ve beat the subject to death. In conclusion, I am more of the ‘Brooks - Noakes’ school of thought regarding this issue. The guys have convinced me, what can I say! :o
