🔬 High intensity interval training induces beneficial effects on coronary atheromatous plaques - a randomized trial
Individuals with heart disease who completed supervised high-intensity interval training twice weekly for six months experienced a decrease in coronary plaque volume. Those who followed standard lifestyle advice did not show the same change.
Experimental
A new systematic review found that resistance exercise depletes skeletal muscle glycogen by about 104 units per session. Each additional set adds ~11 units, and every extra minute adds ~1.3 units. Surprisingly, heavier lifts use slightly less glycogen (-2.88 units per 1% increase). Beginners deplete more than trained individuals, and varying loads burns more than fixed weights. #FitnessScience #ExerciseScience #SportsNutrition
New study finds a striking sex difference: Male athletes training over 3,000 MET-min/week show more coronary calcium buildup than non-athletes — yet show no increased risk. Female athletes, regardless of volume, show no such buildup — and may even have fewer plaques than sedentary women. Exercise benefits everyone, but biology shapes the details. #ExerciseScience #HealthStudy #ScienceOfFitness
