What is the secret of longevity? A 4-minute burst of strenuous exercise may help
[New York News Times] Another group started moderate exercise twice a week in a long 50-minute session. And the third group started a program of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) twice a week. In the meantime, they cycled or jogging at a vigorous pace for 4 minutes, then rested for 4 minutes, and repeated the sequence four times.Almost everyone continued their assigned exercise routine for five years, eternal in science, and regularly returned to the lab for check-in, testing, and supervised group workouts. Meanwhile, scientists have noticed that a significant number of control participants, on their own initiative, have taken part in interval training classes at a local gym, apparently for fun. Other groups did not change their routine. Five years later, researchers checked the death registry and found that about 4.6% of the original volunteers died during the investigation. This is less than Norway’s wider population, 70, and these active older people, overall, live longer than others of their age. Posted by: Besoeker 2020-12-23 |
