fix(vo2max): rebalance rep-length conflict, correct overstatements
Review of the VO2 conflict section against primary sources (verified via PubMed + search): - Rønnestad & Hansen 2016 (PMID 23942167) confirmed: 13 cyclists, 30s vs 50%/80% Tmax at 2:1 work:rest, measured time >=90% VO2peak, 30s won. Table row corrected to reflect the actual comparison. - Yang 2025 optimum ~140s is a MEDIUM rep (~2.3 min), between the poles. Section reframed from binary short-vs-long to an inverted-U with a modality/protocol-dependent peak. 'Weighted toward running' softened to match what the abstract actually supports. - Removed the overstatement 'best-controlled evidence favors short 30/15 intervals'. Added two caveats: (1) cycling short-interval superiority is largely one research group; (2) effort-matched work (total-work-matched) reportedly nulls the advantage (Seiler group; unpublished/secondary, flagged low-tier, not cited as fact). - Practical menu now defaults to medium (~2-4 min, near the pooled optimum) rather than short; short/long presented as goal-dependent options. - citations.md: added single-group caveat on Ronnestad body of work and an explicit NOT-VERIFIABLE entry for the effort-matched replication.
