Dr. Yeoh's own VO2 max training protocol uses a 1:1 work-to-rest ratio at 10-minute intervals: 1 minute at 90-100% maximum heart rate (Zone 5) followed by 1 minute rest/cooldown, repeated 5 times for 10 minutes total, followed by 5-minute recovery phase before resuming the next interval block, continuing until complete exhaustion

Evidence Quote

when trying to develop and improve the OBO to max my protocol uses a one to one ratio of maximal heart rate exercises to rest ratio at 10-minute intervals so I take my heart rate to zone 5 for the ninety to a hundred percent of my maximal heart rate for one minute followed by a one minute rest
