Training Frequency and VO2max
Posted: Sat Sep 06, 2003 9:16 pm
Will beginning athletes improve their VO2max the most with a training frequency of six sessions per week?
Researchers found that a training frequency of five to six times per week improved VO2max by about 43% for beginning athletes who started their training programs with a relatively low VO2max.
With a frequency of two to four times per week, the improvements averaged only 20-25%.
