1/10 In 2026, what is the gold standard for the 2nd exercise threshold? There are many concepts used in endurance physiology: • MLSS • LT2 • Critical Power • FTP They all try to describe the same boundary - but they are not the same thing. 🧵👇

@knowledgeiswatt Yes it is all hypothetical. Sure there is a MLSS but it cant be found via any of the described ramp protocols. Like trying to find a corner in a circle. Maybe critical power is a valid transition point but it isn't a physiological point.

10/10 Not really. Studies show that FTP and Critical Power can differ substantially. At the individual level: • ~50% of athletes show differences >4% • discrepancies can reach 10–15% So FTP cannot reliably estimate the MMSS.

9/10 What about FTP? In cycling it's often defined as: ~95% of 20-min max power and interpreted as the power sustainable for ~60 min. But does FTP represent the true MMSS?

139th KIW Research Note is Out! Critical Power is the Gold Standard for the 2nd Exercise Threshold 'aka' Maximum Metabolic Steady State (MMSS) - not FTP or the 2nd Lactate Threshold. Learn more in this 15 min read: 👇 lnkd.in/dveDQDRy
