“…However, people with larger initial values for are more likely to reduce following priming [ 7 , 60 , 64 ], which will increase critical power [ 2 , 3 , 93 , 175 , 176 ]. is hyperbolically related to O 2 max [ 113 , 158 , 177 ], and hence it is likely that untrained individuals with a low O 2 max would experience a reduction in following priming. Hence, for untrained or recreationally active individuals, we anticipate that priming enhances performance during events of > 30 min in duration owing to an increase in critical power [ 2 , 3 , 93 , 175 , 176 ], where critical power sets the upper limit for sustainable exercise performance [ 172 , 178 ].…”
