Physiologically Speaking

Exercise prevents and reverses cardiovascular disease, but whether high-intensity exercise training (HIIT) is safe and effective for adults after minimally invasive heart surgery is unknown. Exercise is a wonder drug for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and reversal. And the more you exercise, the better your outcomes.

Physiology Friday #197: Do Morning Workouts Maximize the Cardiometabolic Benefits of Exercise?

Physiologically Speaking

[link] Of course, diet is an important component of metabolic health, but exercise also plays an indispensable role. Not only does exercise help to maintain a healthy weight and/or promote weight loss, but it can also keep cardiometabolic risk factors in check in the absence of weight loss.

Physiology Friday #200: Higher Aerobic Fitness is Tied to Slower Biological Aging

Physiologically Speaking

Physical fitness was measured using VO2 peak obtained during a maximal exercise test (the gold standard way to measure this outcome). Furthermore, higher oxygen consumption at the ventilatory threshold — an indicator of submaximal exercise capacity, was also associated with lower biological aging.
