But if you aren't engaging in moderate to vigorous intensity exercises at age 40, 50, 60, 70, your VO2 max is just going to continue to drop 10% per decade.

The only way to maintain that or even build that is to do these more vigorous types of exercise.

Yeah, I would agree.

And I think one of the reasons maybe why we're seeing that signal there is because when we talked about the methodology of the study,

These devices were capturing all the activity that they were doing throughout the day.

And you and I are going to talk about, I think, exercise snacks and Vilpa a little bit later.

But and I think that's why we're seeing this extra added benefit of this vigorous and moderate activity is because this device was capturing everything, not just those intense, those sessions that people remembered.

So it was really getting like the full spectrum of activity throughout the day and seeing this massive risk reduction.

But yes, I mean,

With regard to the non-responders thing, I think that specifically might refer to, you know, adding some deliberate high intensity interval training into your, you know, schedule during the day.

But yeah, I think it's another illustration of how just like the low intensity kind of doesn't cut it in the guidelines.

You know, some people don't respond well to the guidelines and we either need an update or you need to do more or probably some combination of the both.

type 2 diabetes diagnosis yeah i mean i feel like it aligns with a lot of his studies that he's done because i mean i know his group has done some of these sprint interval training studies where they're doing less than 10 minutes of exercise per workout and then you compare that to a 45 to 60 minutes so it's it almost kind of lines up with what we're seeing in this study the one to ten ratio with uh in you know in some of his actual randomized controlled trials that one to ten sort of ratio between the sprint interval training and the moderate training too um

And one of the things though I wanted to mention, I think the signal here for diabetes risk was probably the most drastic, that one to 10 ratio of moderate to vigorous.

And obviously, exercise is important for it, but I think what's important, probably why this signal is showing up in this study is because the movement throughout the day is what I think is so important for glucose control.

Yeah, if you do a workout in the morning and don't do anything the rest of the day, you're gonna be probably pretty insulin sensitive throughout the day.

But what really is better is,

doing 10, 15 minute kind of bouts of movement throughout the day if you're really trying to improve your glucose control.

And so I think that's one of the reasons why in this study that objectively measured every single type of physical activity people were doing, the vigorous exercise was shown to be so beneficial because if you're just moving more throughout your day,

You have better glucose control.
