Training for intense exercise performance: high‐intensity or high‐volume training?
Open accessAbstract
Performance in intense exercise events, such as Olympic rowing, swimming, kayak, track running and track cycling events, involves energy contribution from aerobic and anaerobic sources. As aerobic energy supply dominates the total energy requirements after ∼75 s of near maximal effort, and has the greatest potential for improvement with training, the majority of training for these events is generally aimed at increasing aerobic metabolic capacity. A short‐term period (six to eight sessions over 2–4 weeks) of high‐intensity interval training (consisting of repeated exercise bouts performed close to or well above the maximal oxygen uptake intensity, interspersed with low‐intensity exercise or complete rest) can elicit increases in intense exercise performance of 2–4% in well‐trained athletes. The influence of high‐volume training is less discussed, but its importance should not be downplayed, as high‐volume training also induces important metabolic adaptations. While the metabolic adaptations that occur with high‐volume training and high‐intensity training show considerable overlap, the molecular events that signal for these adaptations may be different. A polarized approach to training, whereby ∼75% of total training volume is performed at low intensities, and 10–15% is performed at very high intensities, has been suggested as an optimal training intensity distribution for elite athletes who perform intense exercise events.

“The rate at which these adaptations occur is variable (Vollaard et al., 2009) and appears to depend on the volume, intensity and frequency of the training.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
