Excerpt

We congratulate Daussin and colleagues (2007) on their well-designed and provocative study investigating the mechanisms for training-induced increases in maximal oxygen uptake \( {\left( {\ifmmode\expandafter\dot\else\expandafter\.\fi{V}{\text{O}}_{2} \max } \right)}. \) However, we wish to take umbrage with the plausibility of their results and also the interpretation that it is possible, using their measurements, to consider central versus peripheral mechanisms for altered \( {\left( {\ifmmode\expandafter\dot\else\expandafter\.\fi{V}{\text{O}}_{2} \max } \right)} \) in seperatum. …
