THANKS to all the volunteers for your dedication! THANKS to Klaus, head of programming at WOD-Science and overall an awesome dude :) --> What should we study next? 👇👇
To what extent do you think the results of your study are driven by better recovery between high intensity sessions for the Zone 2 group? Lesser volume of high intensity training during the week should lead to a better ability to execute those sessions well, but potentially a worsened ability to perform in multiple high intensity sessions in a row as per the testing data. I wonder this because there seemed to be no real impact on the FTP test, suggesting that the Zone 2 work had no specific benefit to crossfit performance. Very interesting work, and I think it's awesome that you're sharing the data so freely! It's nice to see science conducted in this way
Really surprised that there is no clear difference in FTP which makes me wonder how the results would look like if the zone 2 volume would be higher or the timeframe would have been longer. Are you planning a zone 2 project 2.0 with a dialed setup? You could argue that this zone 2 approach was not effective in building their FTP, as long as there is no clear difference between the groups? Furthermore I would be curious to see if the zone 2 group is able to recover more quickly (longer term) e.g. rated on perceived soreness/days to recover after the testing. For a clear FTP post testing picture the rest period after the crossfit total might also need to be lengthened - heavy legs imho interfere quite a lot with a 20min all out test.
Great study! Could it be that the study was not long enough to detect a signal? I’ve heard mitochondrial improvements happen at a longer time scale. I hope you can redo this for a 6-month period.
I think we can learn to use these different styles through out a year. Do 12 weeks commercial and then deload with less stressful zone 2 type for 4 weeks.
According to the CF doctrine, the "traditional CF group" should have improved more than the group that had only two high intensity sessions and 3 moderate intensity sessions. The Glassman groupies won't be happy
Could this be explained by the fact that in both groups, participants did more then enough exercise to lead to improvement and therefore any extra leads to no extra results?
Could it be the case, that all the zone 2 benefits (mitochondrial adaptations) take months or years? I think one thing is a take away from the study: the TRIMP works. 😂

I didn’t see my Cindy results on there :( I sold my soul for it both times

Very well designed study and great effort, thank you!
Thanks for your work and research 🔬

Interesting, thanks for sharing the results.
Nicely done! 👏
Would be interesting to see results if you matched training time instead of TRIMP
I think we can learn to use these different styles through out a year. Do 12 weeks commercial and then deload with less stressful zone 2 type for 4 weeks.
For the beginners at 22:18 how do you build a better aerobic base?
The zone 2 looks like they got 1%+ more than the commercial group. That's not statistically big but looks good to me.
Super Nice study!!
What about the interference effect?
