Because Zone2 will bring you better VO2max and thus longevity. zone3/4 just bring stressor to your body.

are there any proof to that? highest VO2 athletes are cross country skiers, rowers cyclists.. they spend hours in zone 3-4 each day.

sorry did you realize that this channel is called "longevity"? No offence, but I don't give a shit what athletes do besides the fact that their quality of life is very bad and much shorter than non-athletes who simply do fitness.

I was talking of HR zones to increase VO2 and pointed out that ppl with highest VO2 might not spend significant amount of time in Zone 3-4 and Zone 2 is more a comfortable way to get an OK number of VO2. Yes, elit athletes die early, but probably not due to high VO2 Max..

also some study here: "These results demonstrate the potency of high-intensity exercise as a stimulus for increasing VO2max and are in agreement with numerous reports demonstrating elevations in VO2max following high-intensity, and sprint interval training...."

"While the precise mechanisms by which low dose high-intensity exercise elicits increases in VO2max remain controversial, a recent report suggests that improvements in aerobic exercise capacity following high-intensity training are primarily the result of peripheral adaptations."

"Though data supporting this assertion are equivocal, these results suggest that the mechanisms responsible for improvements in VO2max following long duration moderate intensity exercise (i.e. END) and high-intensity exercise may be different."
