Ben,
The only stuff I have heard about MAS is how to calculate it, and what % of MAS to work at, to provide a training stimulus specific to what you are after.
Remembering MAS is different depending on what mode of activity you are doing. For example your MAS for running will be different to your Rowing one.
To calculate MAS for a running activity depending on what energy system you are trying to stimulate
1. Try and cover as much distance as possible within
5-8min for aerobic
5-10sec for anaerobic alactic
30sec for lactic
2. Have the distance you covered in metres and divide by how many secs it took to cover the distance give the MAS for that activity m/s (meters per second)
Hope that helps
