I think the main downside of smaller chunks is it takes a little bit of time for the machinery to "turn on" so to speak so 10 minute works, but it’s really inefficient.
I learned most of this from Alex Viada and Alec Blenis btw who aren’t on here yet but I suggest following them.

15-20 minutes is a decent lower bound for the size of one cardio chunk but only one of those per week will be hard to progress. I’d be looking at 60-90 minutes weekly at least. Then you have the question of what those workouts should be if you only have 2-3 roughly 20-30 minute blocks.

Still new to programming cardio but giving this a try nonetheless:
You need to decide if you’re talking minimum dose in terms of the size of each chunk or the total training stimulus.

Lifting is shaping up to be a similar story.
People think the two are very different but with better data and analysis (Pelland 2024) it seems like muscles respond to volume in a similar way and I think we will see that lifters also have to find less fatiguing work to get to those volumes.
