“Exercise snacks can complement longer aerobic sessions and resistance training while providing an approachable way to interrupt inactivity and practice the physical and mental effort that drives adaptation.”

“Harder work creates a stronger signal, while moderate aerobic and resistance exercise still provide meaningful benefit. Vigorous exercise also raises lactate, which can serve as fuel and a signaling molecule in muscle and other tissues.”

“Exercise may be as good at lowering blood pressure as blood pressure medications in people with high blood pressure according to a meta-analysis of 391 clinical trials. The exercise included aerobic, high-intensity interval training, and resistance training.”

“Cardiorespiratory fitness is a measure of the body's aerobic capacity – the ability to deliver oxygen to skeletal muscles – during sustained physical activity. A 2009 meta-analysis found that people with low cardiorespiratory fitness were 70 percent more likely to die prematurely and 56 percent more likely to experience a heart or cardiovascular disease-related event.”

“Aerobic and resistance exercise can also help preserve fitness, strength, and function during treatment, with intensity adapted for diagnosis, treatment effects, anemia, infection risk, neuropathy, bone health, and fatigue.”

“Studies in animals have shown that aerobic exercise slowed the growth of breast cancer tumors 1.5 times more than sedentary animals. Exercise also made the cancer cells much more sensitive to chemotherapy and the combination of the two had the most significant impact in reducing tumor size.”

“Exercise also decreased the numbers of microglia/monocytes expressing a crucial initiating component of the complement pathway that others have shown previously to play are role in age-related cognitive decline. View full publication.”

“Cardiovascular exercise on a stationary bike induced levels of a master hormonal regulator of glucose, lipids, ketogenesis, and overall energy metabolism (called FGF21) 3-times higher than strength training exercises in a randomized crossover study. Just more evidence of why it is important to engage in both aerobic exercise and strength training exercise.”
