Adding to this controversy are questions about carbohydrate supplementation during exercise, particularly whether minimal carbohydrate intake can deliver performance benefits or if higher intakes are necessary to sustain energy levels and delay fatigue. What’s this all mean? That is, if muscle glycogen truly is obligatory.

BackgroundPrevious studies have shown that exercise can improve arterial stiffness (AS). However, it remains unclear which type of exercise is most effective for managing AS, particularly in individuals at high risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Further research with larger sample sizes is needed to confirm these findings.

Exercise is the picture-perfect example of hormesis. Whether it’s a long run or a heavy lift, exercise damages our cells in the short term. For resistance exercise, ROS support hypertrophy and strength by signaling through pathways like mTOR and IGF-1, pathways also inhibited by chronic antioxidant supplementation.

FSTFUEL combines electrolytes with amino acids to help your body maintain hydration and optimal functioning during exercise or intermittent fasting, so you don't have to choose between fasting and fitness. This complex coordination of lactate metabolism happens at rest, after we eat, and during exercise (both aerobic and anaerobic).
