Does this also relate to cortisol being released? Like when an athlete hits their maximum for the day their body starts producing the stress hormone in excess (over the body's threshold). Since the body gets better at oxidation over time does that also mean they increase the amount of time before cortisol is in excess in the body?
EDIT: I don't know the process well so I'm trying to word it correctly. As one exercises, you release cortisol. I'm assuming your body releases more into the bloodstream as you exercise, or the body gets worse at releasing it out of the body (through oxidation?). This paper is about overtime, but I'm wondering how this affects a marathon runner daily. I heard after about ~40min-1hr your body hits high cortisol levels and it negatively affects the ahtlete (it causes "stress"). So do Marathon runners and other athletes who run a lot like baseball and tennis players, increase that threshold so they can play for hours?
