And I think us discussing the mechanisms, you know, while...
I think it's super important because the mechanisms explain why vigorous exercise is more beneficial for health outcomes than we thought with that two to one ratio.
And that's why it has such as outsized benefit because it's it's sending this louder signal to the body, regardless of what you look at.
You look at.
You look at blood glucose.
You look at the cardiovascular adaptations.
The overall signal is just louder.
And it's not just a matter of, oh, you burn twice as many calories, so it's twice as good for your health.
No, you can't really quantify it.
It's an exponentially better increase for X outcome than
that you're looking at this physiological mechanism, it's an exponential increase when you up that intensity.
And so I think it's important for people to know what mechanisms are responsible.
And then knowing that you can see, well, this is obviously why vigorous exercises is better or vigorous physical activity, rather to use the correct phrase, compared to lighter and moderate intensities.
Everybody wants to say, oh, well, PGC-1-alpha, that's like the exercise pill.
It's like, well, that's just one part of it.
I think you're responsible probably for the, I don't know, however many like downloads of that article on their website they have.
And a lot of those studies, most of those studies, too, were in non-exercisers.
So they were in people who reported or said that, you know, I don't regularly engage in
