“In this Aliquot, Drs. Martin Gibala, Brad Schoenfeld, and Mark Mattson share their thoughts on the importance of resistance training and how its aerobic qualities boost cardiovascular health while optimizing your workout's time efficiency.”
“A key component in these processes is the lactate shuttle – a metabolic pathway that facilitates the movement of lactate between tissues so it can be used as an energy source, effectively recycling it and supporting sustained exercise performance.”
“In this Aliquot, cardiologist Ben Levine, nutritional scientist and champion powerlifter Layne Norton, and I discuss the importance of recovery, how best to approach it, and some surprising, often overlooked aspects of this important part of fitness.”
“The conversion of glucoraphanin to sulforaphane in broccoli sprouts requires myrosinase, an enzyme co-located within the leaves, stems, and other components of the plants. Food preparation techniques like freezing or cooking can either enhance or hinder maximal sulforaphane production from the sprouts.”
“Part 3 of this series focuses on maximizing and maintaining muscle mass—an essential part of long-term health and fitness—with insights from exercise physiologist and nutrition expert Dr. Luc van Loon and exercise scientist Layne Norton.”
