... Indeed, in the data compiled by Williams et al. (2019), the majority of studies prescribed exercise intensity this way and only ∼13% of the Specifically, 64% of participants increasedV O 2 max beyond a clinically relevant threshold of 1 MET when intensity was prescribed relative to physiological thresholds, compared to 16% when intensity was prescribed using traditional anchors (Meyler et al., 2024). This recent meta-analysis suggests further work is needed to establish how physiological thresholds, and in particular CP, can be applied to design effective training interventions in different groups, and particularly in clinical populations. ...
... It is plausible that such a reduction in the variability of acute physiological responses to exercise might result in an analogous reduction in variability and/or a greater magnitude ofV O 2 max changes following endurance training. This was the question of a recent metaanalysis byMeyler et al. (2024), which explored the effect of using physiological thresholds to prescribe exercise training on both the magnitude and variability of changes inV O 2 max . The authors collected individual participants' data from four exercise-matched studies (139 participants), in which two groups of participants were prescribed exercise relative to a traditional maximal anchor or a physiological threshold in otherwise identical training programmes. ...
