Aerobic Decoupling
Mathematical and physiological reference for aerobic decoupling, the percentage drift in the power-to-heart-rate (or pace-to-heart-rate) ratio between the first and second halves of a steady aerobic effort, used as an integrated proxy for cardiovascular drift, glycogen depletion, and durability.
