Kettlebell Swing Ladders: Does It Boost VO2 Max?



You’ve probably seen the kettlebell swing ladder all over TikTok. But does it actually boost your VO2 max?

HOW TO DO THE KETTLEBELL SWING LADDER:
1. Pick a kettlebell weight you can comfortably complete for 20 reps
2. Do 1 kettlebell swing, set the bell down, and take 1 slow breath through your nose
3. Then 2 swings, 2 breaths
4. Keep climbing all the way up to 20 swings and 20 breaths, then work your way back down

It looks like a great conditioning workout. But I couldn’t find a single study showing swing ladders improve VO2 max.

That’s not to say it doesn’t work. There’s just no research backing it up the way there is for the Norwegian 4×4 interval training protocol.
