INTER-INDIVIDUAL RESPONSES OF MAXIMAL OXYGEN UPTAKE TO EXERCISE TRAINING: A CRITICAL REVIEW

We recently reported how to quantify the inter-individual differences in response to an intervention. We now aim to scrutinise the research on the individual responses to training of maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max). The key trigger for further investigation into individual responses is when the standard deviation of change (SD_change) in the intervention sample is substantially larger than the same standard deviation derived...
