“Although pharmaceutical treatments for depression are available, many people with depression do not respond to the medications. A new study demonstrates that aerobic exercise benefits people with depression, especially those whose symptoms are more severe.”

“People who regularly engage in high-intensity aerobic exercise have nearly half as many upper respiratory infections as sedentary people, a 2010 study found. Those who engage in high-intensity aerobic exercise also experience fewer and less severe upper respiratory symptoms than those who engage in lower-intensity exercise.”

“People on waiting lists for anxiety treatment who did not exercise served as comparisons. They found that participants who engaged in both low- and high-intensity aerobic exercise experienced greater improvements in their anxiety than non-exercising people on treatment waiting lists.”

“They collected fasting blood samples from 15 of the participants the morning after the exercise protocol to assess inter-day variability. One group of participants engaged in an acute bout of aerobic exercise on a treadmill for eight to 12 minutes at their maximum capacity.”

“Metformin inhibits mitochondrial adaptations and improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness after aerobic exercise training in older adults. Metformin also diminished whole-body insulin sensitivity after aerobic exercise. Metformin did not diminish the improvements in HbA1c, fasting insulin, 24‐hr mean glucose, and fat mass or the increase in skeletal muscle telomere length after exercise.”

“Researchers compared the effects of aerobic versus resistance training on skin aging in 56 sedentary, middle-aged women. The participants engaged in a twice-weekly supervised exercise program involving either aerobic or resistance training for 16 weeks.”

“Aerobic exercise can be defined as physical activity that increases aerobic metabolism – the body's energy-producing processes that require oxygen. Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, running, swimming, dancing, and other activities that increase heart rate and respiration.”

“Researchers of a new study aimed to illuminate the cellular mechanisms of mitochondrial fat metabolism following moderate intensity aerobic exercise. Mitochondria are cellular structures responsible for the production of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).”

“People with high or moderate aerobic capacity had a 44-48% lower risk of a cardiac death event compared to people with low aerobic capacity. Aerobic capacity was even more important for people that were obese since moderate or high aerobic capacity lowered risk of a cardiac death event by 58-72%.”

“A high-fat, high-sugar diet accelerated normal vascular aging in mice, according to a 2021 study. However, regular, lifelong aerobic exercise maintained vascular health and ameliorated some of the harmful effects of a poor diet.”
