All things related to exercise.

Brief, deliberately planned bouts of vigorous exercise distributed throughout the day.

“At the end of the 12-month intervention, the study's authors assessed the participants' memory function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cerebral blood flow. Participants enrolled in the one-year exercise program exhibited marked improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and memory performance.”

“No single bout duration, daily frequency, or meal-timing schedule has been established as optimal. Mortality and cancer findings come mainly from observational VILPA studies, not long-term randomized exercise-snack trials.”

“Decreased fat mass and improved body composition. Enhanced mitochondrial function. Furthermore, HIIT outperforms moderate-intensity continuous exercise, leading to greater improvements in: Cardiorespiratory fitness (e.g., VO2 max).”

“Though aerobic exercise is more commonly studied, resistance training is emerging as a potentially underappreciated tool for managing both depression and anxiety. Mechanistically, the antidepressant effects of exercise are rooted in biology: movement rewires mood-regulating circuits through multiple pathways.”

“It required a bit more movement for these numbers to change in a meaningful way." - Dr. Rhonda Patrick. For every 30 minutes of aerobic exercise performed each week: body weight dropped by 0.52 kilograms or just over 1 pound.”

“Muscle is a "glucose sink," and engaging more skeletal muscle means more glucose uptake and less glucose in the bloodstream. Exercise enhances glucose uptake independent of insulin, also by increasing GLUT4 translocation to the cell surface in muscles.”

“"Pharmacological FGF21 signals to glutamatergic neurons to enhance leptin action and lower body weight during obesity."Molecular metabolism 64 (2022): 101564. Morville, Thomas et al. "Divergent effects of resistance and endurance exercise on plasma bile acids, FGF19, and FGF21 in humans."JCI insight 3.15 (2018).”

“High-intensity "exercise snacks" are being studied for their potential effects on insulin sensitivity and other health markers. Researchers believe incorporating these short bursts of activity throughout the day might improve cardiorespiratory fitness and blood markers of fat and immune function.”
