Two sessions this week! 💪

Six 30-second all-out sprints produced a much larger immediate change in the bloodstream than 90 minutes of steady cycling.

Researchers measured 2,884 blood proteins before and after exercise in separate small groups of healthy young men. One group completed six 30-second maximal cycling sprints with recovery between efforts.

Another cycled continuously at a moderate intensity for 90 minutes.
Immediately after the sprint session, 714 proteins had changed. After the much longer moderate session, only 7 had changed.

The difference was not limited to proteins. The sprint session also changed 203 measured metabolites, including molecules involved in energy production and fuel use. Three hours later, however, much of the large sprint response had already faded, while the moderate session showed a smaller, more delayed pattern.

The important point is not that three minutes of hard exercise is “better” than 90 minutes of moderate exercise. This study measured short-term molecular changes in blood, not improvements in fitness, cardiovascular disease, diabetes or longevity. The groups were also small, and intensity, duration and total work all differed between the exercise protocols.

What the study shows more clearly is that different types of exercise can produce very different biological signals, even when both are considered beneficial forms of training.

A short, intense session created a broad and immediate response. Longer moderate exercise produced a smaller and slower one.

Exercise is not one biological stimulus. Intensity and duration change what the body responds to.

If you’re an athlete engaged in a strength and conditioning program it would serve you well to include seated calf raises, training the entire trunk at lengthened positions, and heavy reverse flies.

Low hanging fruit fills the bushels.
