“Aerobic exercise increases blood flow and promotes structural changes in the brain, supporting cognitive health. A recent study found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) enhances how much glucose the brain uses, particularly in regions that tend to decline early in Alzheimer's disease.”

“Cardiorespiratory fitness is a measure of the body's aerobic capacity – the ability to deliver oxygen to skeletal muscles – during sustained physical activity. Poor cardiorespiratory fitness, along with dyslipidemia, family history, hypertension, age, cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and physical inactivity, increases a person's risk for cardiovascular disease and death.”

“People who engaged in just a single exercise session before completing a task exhibited better focus and less distraction. The study involved 24 healthy adults who participated in two protocols (20 minutes of exercise or 30 minutes of seated rest) on separate occasions.”

“These findings highlight the harmful effects of chronic alcohol consumption on heart cells at the molecular level. Avoiding alcohol can be challenging, but vigorous aerobic exercise can help reduce alcohol cravings. Learn more in this video featuring Dr. Rhonda Patrick.”

“Half of the men engaged in supervised aerobic and resistance exercise twice a week for an hour for a three-month period, followed by three months of unsupervised exercise. The other half, which served as a control group, maintained their regular activity levels.”

“Researchers reviewed 35 studies investigating genetic variants in the context of supervised aerobic exercise interventions aimed at improving VO2 max. The studies were based on DNA samples from more than 4,200 people of varied genetic makeup.”

“The findings from this very small study shed light on how high-dose atorvastatin therapy can significantly reduce the energy production in muscle cells, driving a decrease in muscle and aerobic fitness.”

“All participants completed similar exercise training programs, and the researchers analyzed outcomes related to performance in hot or neutral conditions, aerobic capacity, heart rate, body temperature, sweat response, and perceived exertion.”

“The study included 889 people with stage II or III colon cancer who had completed chemotherapy. Researchers assigned half to a three-year supervised exercise program that included moderate-intensity aerobic activity and strength training.”

“The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults engage in at least 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity, or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity each week.”
