This is incorrect. VO2max is influenced mostly by muscle recruitment - different muscle group trained would be a hindrance if anything

- giantg2 2y ago"VO2max is influenced mostly by muscle recruitment" This is incorrect - the primary factor is heart and lung function. Yes, muscle training can play a factor, but is relatively minor compared to that.
- dilyevsky 2y agoLung capacity is genetic and heart is only trainable up to a small limit bc there’s a layer of fascia around it preventing further expansion. That’s the “supply” side of vo2. The “demand” side is the recruitment and efficiencies you’ve developed which are exercise dependent. This is why you dont see a lot of cross training (except for recovery) and a lot of z4 work in the professional training programs
