#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

So it's not, we'll maybe, you know, we'll talk about this later too, but it doesn't, you don't need to be doing constantly HIIT.

#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

It's just...

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

These crazy benefits with this purposeful zone two even intensity movement is pretty incredible.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Yep.

FoundMyFitness

And with moderate too.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

So up to about 50 minutes per day, you kind of saw this linear dose response, this risk reduction up to about 50 minutes per day of moderate activity.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And then after that, you didn't see more risk reduction basically from getting more moderate activity.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And then moving on to light activity, as we sort of already just mentioned,

FoundMyFitness

not much of or zero dose response relationship.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

So you do some light activity, you get about a 10 to 15% risk reduction, but doing more of that up to say even two to three hours a day of that extra light activity didn't really seem to reduce risk much more.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Five to six hours a week.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And I mean, a lot of the, if you read any of the randomized control trials to just comparing, um,

FoundMyFitness

moderate intensity training to high intensity interval training.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

If you look at the effects on endothelial function, like you mentioned in artery stiffness, it doesn't even come close, even when they're volume matched.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

So you say you do the same amount of volume of moderate intensity and high intensity interval training, it's high intensity interval training always wins in terms of improving vascular function.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

And it's just, it all comes down to really that sheer stress that you mentioned.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

It's so...

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Higher intensity, more shear stress, it's good.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

Shear stress is almost like a bad name for it because like you said, it kind of sounds bad.

FoundMyFitness
#108 The Best Type of Exercise for Longevity

You don't want shear stress, but like you do, the more shear stress you get, the better.
