Study reveals that the optimal exercise method for anti-aging to prevent aging is "high intensity interval training"

ByCathe Friedrich

It has long been recognized by people that exercise is good for health and suppression of aging, but among them among them is the effect of anaerobic exercise with short time and recovery time with low load Repeat alternatelyHigh intensity interval trainingIt was revealed by the research that it is.

General hospital headquartered in Rochester, Minnesota, USA "Mayo Clinic"ofK Sreekumaran NairResearch teams by Dr. et al. Are asked to participate in experiments for groups from 18 to 30 years old and groups from 65 to 80 years of age, and are included in cells according to the difference in training methodMitochondriaWe investigated how the workings of these organisms change.

"Mitochondria" which should have been heard in school lessons etc. is a small organ that produces energy of cell activity, releasing energy called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) using blood sugar and oxygen We will create substances. It is known that the action of mitochondria depends on age, and as a result, sugar in the blood is not consumed so much and it is thought that it causes obesity.

The research group divided each group into small groups that perform "interval training", "strength training", "training of both", and each conducted training for three months. As a result, it was confirmed that in the young people 's group, the small group who conducted the interval training increased the mitochondria' s ability to generate energy 49%. In addition, similar results were confirmed in the group of elderly people in a small group of interval training, and it was found that the rate of increase was 69%, which was more effective than the group of young people.

From here, it is highlighting that the effect of interval training appears particularly conspicuously in the case of elderly people. Dr. Nair told about this result, "As a result of interval training over 3 months, it was confirmed that all the items are approaching the content of the group of young people", in other words it is similar to "rejuvenation" It seems to be said that the effect can be expected for interval training.

Interval training also has a positive effect on pulmonary function and heart and blood circulation system. In the group of young people the ability to capture oxygen in the blood rose by 28% and the group of elderly people saw a 17% rise.

In contrast, it was said that such effects were not confirmed in the group that was only performing strength training. Dr. Nair says, "Strength training has the effect of enlarging the muscle fibers and enlarging the muscle, but the effect on mitochondrial capacity and cardiorespiratory function is not confirmed." In addition, it seems that the effect of combining both methods is confirmed to be intermediate between the two methods.
