Peer-reviewed research concerning aerobic exercise, summarized and appraised in plain language with every source cited.
This study set out to compare how different types of exercise affect muscle metabolism and insulin sensitivity in the short term. Twelve healthy young men did three sessions: sprint intervals…
This study compared how two types of high-intensity exercise affect hunger hormones, appetite, and body composition in overweight and obese men. Thirty men were split into groups doing either running-based…
This study set out to see if sprint interval training while deliberately breathing less (voluntary hypoventilation, or VHL) could boost both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems in young men. Fourteen…
This study compared two ways of making sprint training harder: doing it in thin air, and doing it in the heat. Healthy men and women trained twice a week for…
This study tested whether a six-week, unsupervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) running program on campus could improve fitness, sleep, and body composition in sedentary male university students. Fifty-six students were…
This study looked at whether a quick, low-effort high-intensity interval training routine (REHIT) could improve blood sugar control after meals and over a full day in healthy, active middle-aged men.…
This study compared two cardio styles for building muscle when matched for total work and time: HIIT (high-intensity interval training, short bursts of hard effort with rests between) and MICT…
This study compared two ways of organising the same lifting session in untrained young men. The test method was cluster set resistance training, meaning a set is broken into small…
This study set out to see whether ashwagandha, a herb widely sold for stress and performance, adds anything to interval training. Interval training here meant repeated hard efforts on a…
This study set out to see how different types of underwear and physical activity affect scrotal temperature, which in turn affects testicular temperature. Fifty healthy men with normal fertility had…
