Mixed
Endurance training enhances the contribution of oxidative metabolism to energy supply during high-intensity exercise, leading to slower rates of fatigue compared to power-trained or untrained individuals.
If you engage in high-intensity exercise, incorporating endurance training can improve your aerobic contribution to energy supply, helping you resist fatigue better during repeated high-intensity efforts.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
One important factor that may contribute to the slower rate of fatigue and the smaller metabolic disturbances of endurance trained individuals is their higher aerobic fitness. It has been shown that endurance athletes have higher oxygen uptake during a repeated sprint test, indicating a greater contribution of aerobic metabolism to energy supply
Why this rating
The paper cites multiple studies showing consistent trends in aerobic contribution during repeated sprints.
