Muscle memory is a concept in exercise science that highlights the remarkable ability of muscles to "remember" prior training, allowing for quicker adaptations when retraining after a break. The concept of muscle memory is quite simple: It suggests that our body will have an enhanced response to a specific exercise stimulus (i.e.,

In a 5-zone training model, zone 2 is the highest exercise intensity you can sustain while remaining predominantly aerobic (oxygen-driven). Physiologically, this results in faster recovery between and during workouts, improved endurance performance, and increased fatigue resistance during longer exercise sessions or competitions.

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.

Background Peak oxygen pulse (O 2 pulse=oxygen consumption/heart rate) is calculated by the product of stroke volume (SV) and oxygen extraction. We propose that the slope of the O 2 pulse curve may be more reflective of SV during exercise. It has been shown to be reduced in patients with a Fontan circulation.
