A group for those who employ Intense Interval training in the quest for fitness. HIIT can be adopted to almost any sport or activity. Build muscle & improve capacity. Open to anyone anywhere in the world who enjoys fitness.
Intense exercise slows aging? That is the implication of a study of 2400 British twins led by Tim D. Spector, professor of genetic epidemiology at King's College London. As published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, Spector found that among twins who exercised asymmetrically, the twin doing the more intense exercise had telemeres that appeared to be an average of nine years younger than those of the less active twin. (They were 88 nucleotides longer.) Animal studies suggest that telemere length is a possible key to the aging process as genes with short telemeres cannot reproduce completely & information at the ends of chromosomes is lost. It appears, however that an enzyme that replenishes telemeres is released during intense exercise, somewhat countering the aging process at the cellular level. The take away: do a lot of HIIT & stay young.

I feel evangelical about HIIT as an anti-aging protocol. Perhaps this reflects the fact that I am older than you & other members of the HIIT Group. Eventhough I haven;t been measuring the length of telemeres on my leukocytes & I have no couch potato twin to serve as a control, I am convinced that HIIT extends vitality.I humbly suggest that my workout of yesterday is an exhibit in support. A HR of 190 is the predicted max for someone at age 30. VO2 Max norms at excellent for a man at age 37.
You've found the secret that eludes most people as they age... It's not a time to sit down and rest it's a time to move and have fun and discover how amazingly the body responds to being active! You can truly turn back the years. Hi Five going out to you BNY!

Jimie, your TE is not a function of your peak HR, but of your EPOC. All the factors you mention could bear on your anaerobic energy system. Variability from day to day could produce different EPOC readings on the same routine with the same ambient temperature. An EPOC reading above 200 will max out your TE, no matter how high your pulse goes. Good luck.
Thanks for this explanation. I was wondering the same as Jimie. BR.
I run in Japan. Although it is not very good at English, thank you. (Even this sentence, I use a "google translation" )
