Key findings:
➡️ Rest intervals as low as 20–30s maintained propulsive output across sets
➡️Reduced rest interval did not negatively impact performance

🔍 Implications:
✅ Improve power output retention with shorter rest intervals
✅ Optimize session time & training density

2️⃣ Sex disparities in CPET measures existed, with females almost 4 times more likely to have a lower (i.e. below the set) threshold for optimal cardiorespiratory fitness than males.

🔎 Key finding
Patients from more deprived areas showed significantly lower gas exchange threshold & peak V̇O₂

🏥 Why it matters
1️⃣ Addressing deprivation-related differences in cardiorespiratory function, will enable better postoperative outcomes

Personal reflection:

▶️brilliant to see lots of people attending & catching up with old friends
▶️humbling to see 'how things were done' & realise how far we've come
▶️inspiring talks on the day

Thoroughly enjoyable & looking forward to the next landmark anniversary!

We celebrated this anniversary on 23/05 on our Byrom Street campus, including laboratory tours in the Tom Reilly building & talks from past & present alumni.
