However, we find it difficult to agree with their assertions that “these thresholds are collectively linked to the physiological events during the transition from heavy-to-severe intensity exercise”, and “these thresholds are expressions of linked physiological phenomena”. This is based not only on the authors’ own data but also on our previous study showing that the association between the respiratory compensation point (RCP) and muscle deoxygenation breakpoint (deoxy [heme] BP) can be experimentally dissociated (Goulding et al. 2021). Herein we offer an alternative interpretation of Caen et al.(2022); that, when considered alongside our recent work (Goulding et al. 2021), presents the clear perspective that local metabolic thresholds are not mechanistically linked to systemic thresholds in any systematic fashion.A crucial test of the hypothesis that high-intensity exercise thresholds are related is that the degree of agreement between any of these thresholds should remain following an intervention expected to alter both parameters. In our recent paper, we used upright versus supine cycling to test whether the relationship between RCP and deoxy [heme] BP would remain stable under conditions expected to impact muscle O2 delivery. Moreover, we reasoned that if the RCP and deoxy [heme] BP were mechanistically related, their relationship should remain consistent across locomotor muscles (ie, vastus lateralis, VL; rectus femoris, RF), both within and between upright and supine conditions. We found that RCP was significantly lower than deoxy [heme] BP in the upright position in the VL (ie, the conditions under which these two variables are most typically measured), which is consistent with the present (Caen et al. 2022, study 2, Table 4) and previous work of Caen et al.(2018). We also found that Δdeoxy [heme] BP did not correlate with ΔRCP across positions in either muscle, a finding which is inconsistent with the correlations between these variables presented in Fig. 2 by Caen et al.(2022). Moreover, we observed very wide limits of agreement between RCP and deoxy [heme] BP (±0.49 in the VL and±0.79 LO 2 min− 1 in the RF), a finding coherent with the poor test–retest reliability of the deoxy [heme] BP noted by Caen et al.(2022). Moreover, despite a singular RCP for all participants, the deoxy [heme] BP occurred at
