Hard facts no hype!

Steps, resting heart rate, blood glucose level, VO2max, sleep score – you name it, we’re tracking it. So is it healthy to be so fixated? Or are we all afflicted with a term @mackinprof coined: Orthometria. With @gibalam

Exercise physiology's latest new catchy acronym is VILPA! See how it rolls off the tongue? @mackinprof asks @gibalam: “What is VILPA and how is it different from exercise snacks?”

Exercise Snacks & VILPA: The Ultimate Explainer open.substack.com/pub/realexerci…

A little morsel of an episode on exercise snacks and Vigorous Intermittent Lifestyle Physical Activity, known as VILPA. Along with a handful of scientists worldwide, such as @M_Stamatakis and @DrJonLittle, Marty (@gibalam) is leading research into the health benefits of short, vigorous bouts of exercise scattered throughout the day.

Think interval training has to be all-out? Think again! In ep 6, @DrMJoyner tells @gibalam & @mackinprof that not all interval training is high-intensity. Even Emil Zátopek didn't run every 400-meter repeat at max effort. Listen here:

In ep6, @gibalam asks: What does @DrMJoyner think of low-intensity Zone 2 dogma? Joyner offers 3 tips on moderate and vigorous PA:

Tip 1: Do SOMETHING
Tip 2: Vigorous better
Tip 3: Do intervals

Influencers love Zone 2. But @gibalam published a paper on why Zone 2 probably isn't for you. So what’s the deal with it? Martin breaks it down with @mackinprof in Ep. 2 of the Exercise Science podcast. Listen: realexercisescience.com

New research co-authored by APS member @gibalam suggests that brief "exercise snacks" could help those with #Type2Diabetes control their blood sugar.

Metabolic flexibility may be one of the most overlooked markers of long term health. Your body should be able to shift between burning carbohydrates and fat depending on the demand.

But many people lose that ability over time.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Martin Gibala of Fat Max, why mitochondrial quality matters for both performance and longevity, and how sprint interval training can stimulate mitochondrial adaptations comparable to traditional endurance training in far less time.

Sometimes the question isn’t how long you train. It’s how intensely you’re willing to push.

Listen to the full conversation.

Thank you @drgabriellelyon for the opportunity to sit down and discuss HIIT, VO2max, Zone 2, Fatmax, and applications for health.

It's out!! I am so excited to share this review addressing popular beliefs and claims within popular media around Zone 2 training. I feel very privileged to have worked on this with my amazing co-authors, Dr. Brendon Gurd, Andres Moran-MacDonald, and @gibalam

Social media has way people behave, so it's important that we stay evidence based.
