“Dr. Schoenfeld presents failure training as an occasional tool for selected exercises and advanced trainees, not a requirement for every set, and he emphasizes that weekly volume can rise as a person pursues more complete gains.”

“Dr. Attia says checking lactate during every cycling session is his own data-heavy practice, not something most people need to do. For most people, he favors rate of perceived exertion and the talk test, with heart-rate formulas used only as starting points.”

“In this excerpt from Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s A4M LongevityFest 2023 keynote, she reviews a randomized trial in sedentary middle-aged adults. Two years of progressive, supervised aerobic training increased VO2 max and reduced left-ventricular stiffness.”

“In this excerpt from Dr. Rhonda Patrick's A4M LongevityFest 2023 keynote, she argues that vigorous exercise is one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging because it can raise cardiorespiratory fitness.”

“A higher omega-3-index quintile was associated with lower all-cause mortality risk, but the estimated years of life were model-derived comparisons between quintiles, not observed gains from raising an index from 4% to 8%.”

“Dr. Patrick recommends vigorous intervals when moderate training does not improve an individual’s VO2 max and presents repeated one-minute efforts and the Norwegian 4-by-4 as practical options.”

“Participants who experienced four mild concussions had difficulty with processing speed and working memory – an aspect of cognitive function that allows a person to remember information for relevant tasks.”

“FTA: > The researchers found many regions that are "hyper-connected – or talking to each other a little too much – among those who have a history of depression," Jacobs said. These hyper-connected brain networks were related to rumination, with individuals thinking about a problem over and over without actively trying to come up with a solution.”

“Direct graded exercise testing in an accredited lab is the reference method because it measures oxygen uptake and also reports heart rate, power, lactate, and training-zone data. Dr. Gibala describes submaximal tests as the middle tier.”

“In order to study the effects of irisin supplementation, the investigators conducted a second experiment in which they administered exogenous (i.e., made outside the body) irisin to a strain of mice who develop an Alzherimer’s-like dementia at an early age due to loss of FNDC5 function.”
