How to live longer? Improve your cardiorespiratory fitness. Let's look at what happened to 5,107 48-year-old men after 46 years of follow-up. Journal of the American College of Cardiology - 2018 Clausen J, et al. Midlife Cardiorespiratory Fitness and the Long-Term Risk of Mortality. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2018 Aug, 72 (9) 987–995. https://lnkd.in/ed3GqPzR • VO₂ max definition: In that study, cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with the VO₂ max value, value that refers to the maximum amount of oxygen your body can absorb and use during exercise. It measures your aerobic fitness levels. • Average VO₂ max values: Average untrained adult → 40 mL/kg/min Trained adult (Marathon in 4 hours) → 50-55 mL/kg/min Eliud Kipchoge’s (Marathon in 2 hours) → 90 mL/kg/min • In the study, they made 4 groups based on VO2 max values: -Lowest (5%) -Low normal (45%) -High normal (45%) -Highest (5%) • A total of 5,107 men with a mean age of 48.8 ± 5.4 years were included in the study. • During the 46 years of follow-up, 4,700 (92%) men died; 2,149 (42.1%) of the men died of cardiovascular disease. • Compared with below the lower limit of normal CRF, low normal CRF was associated with 2.1 years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.7 to 3.4; p = 0.002), high normal with 2.9 years (95% CI: 1.5 to 4.2; p < 0.001), and above the upper limit of normal with 4.9 years (95% CI: 3.1 to 6.7; p < 0.001) longer mean life expectancy. #healthcare #longevity #sports

This should not be an either/or conversation, i.e cardio vs. strength training. Both activities, along with flexibility, are essential for maximizing longevity benefits. Build muscle, lose fat, strengthen heart & lungs.
Cardio workouts have major longevity benefits. A new study suggests higher levels of cardiorespiratory fitness cut all-cause mortality risk by up to 17% and CVD risk by 18%. Dose responsive, the authors say increasing “huff and puff” exercise could help prevent heart failure, depression, diabetes, dementia, and even cancer. With nearly half of Americans failing to achieve recommended aerobic levels, cardio needs a major comeback. Connecting it to longer life, free exercise like running, walking, and calisthenics becomes an easy sell.

It was recently estimated by the American Heart Association that 60% of the US Population will suffer from heart disease or stroke by the year 2050. It has already been estimated that north of 70% of the US population already has incipient heart disease, the result of unfavorable cardio metabolic health markers. Yet we continue to underestimate the powerful combination of reducing inflammatory load on the body overall while increasing cardiac efficiency. And most fitness centers give only cursory attention, programmatically or otherwise, to these dire statistics often relegating recommendations to vague generalities. And looking good does not equate to being healthy. Only precision healthcare diagnostics paired with precision fitness diagnostics can holistically address these matters. That and developing habits that are the equivalent of brushing one’s teeth. But that’s a behavior now isn’t it ? Another critical piece to an ever expanding pie that must be considered holistically, not in fractious pieces. #holistichealth

Did you know? Timing actually matters and you should optimise your fitness routine for better health! New research from Leiden University Medical Center suggests that the timing of exercise sessions can significantly impact health benefits, irrespective of the type or length of activity. Monitoring over 80,000 participants, the study found that exercising in the morning, between 8 am-11 am, was most effective in reducing the risk of coronary artery disease and stroke. This optimal timing held true regardless of individual chronobiology, highlighting the importance of timing in cardiovascular risk prevention.

Growing up in Germany, climbing stairs was a part of everyday life. Unlike in the U.S., where elevators are often the focal point of buildings, stairs are the main feature in German buildings. Did you know that stair climbing has numerous health benefits? Within 4 to 8 weeks, improvements can be seen in body composition, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and cardiovascular health. Incorporating stair climbing into your daily routine adds bursts of aerobic exercise, without the need for a gym membership. Aim for 6 to 10 flights of stairs daily, based on personal fitness level. Stair climbing is a convenient way to meet recommended targets for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercise. Plus, it combines aerobic exercise and resistance training, benefiting muscle and heart health. Remember to start slowly if you're not accustomed to stair climbing. Check out this article from NPR to learn more about the longevity benefits of stair climbing! #StairClimbing #FitnessTips #HealthBenefits

A common question; when is the best time to exercise, the time that you can do it is the most important answer - but here's what the latest research says. #exercise #healthylifestyle #exerciseismedicine
THE AFTERNOON IS THE BEST TIME TO EXERCISE FOR YOUR HEALTH Nieman D: H1 Connect Recommendation of [Galan-Lopez P, Casuso RA, Sports Med 2023 53(10:1951-1961)]. In H1 Connect, 20 Sep 2023; 10.3410/f.742782078.793600840 The best time of the day to exercise has been debated for decades. This meta-analysis of nine studies concluded that the afternoon is the best time to exercise if metabolic health is the primary goal. Circadian rhythms are engrained in each cell of the body, and these coincide with the earth’s 24-hour rotation cycle. The skeletal muscle system has an internal clock that is heavily influenced by exercise timing. There is increasing evidence that the skeletal muscle clock is optimally aligned by afternoon exercise with widespread effects that extend to other metabolic pathways. This review emphasized that studies support an augmented lowering effect of afternoon exercise on blood levels of triglycerides and glucose. There are other reasons that support exercising later versus earlier in the day. Studies show that athletic performance for both men and women peaks in the late afternoon (PMID: 33680499). A large study in the UK showed that exercising midday-afternoon compared to morning or evening was linked to lower risks for all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and cancer mortality (PMID: 36805455). In general, exercise timing is now regarded as a tool to reinforce positive changes on metabolic health, and the edge goes to the afternoon.

Human Performance Scientist | Keynote Speaker | Consultant & Advisor | Empowering knowledge workers with science-based tools to achieve sustainable high performance
What is the best time of day to exercise according to science? The answer might surprise you. Social media is full of gurus telling us about the optimal time for exercise. 5 AM seems to be a particularly popular recommendation. However, a recent systematic review and meta-analysis, including 26 studies, offers an alternative perspective (PMID: 37208462). The researchers examined evidence related to the hypothesis that exercising at a particular time of day could offer benefits for: • Performance • Body measurements • Cardiovascular health • Cardiometabolic health Perhaps surprisingly, they found little evidence for or against the hypothesis. More research is required to explore the effect of exercise timing in more detail. For example, most studies investigated healthy young adults. Also, where chronotype was assessed, more than three-quarters of participants were intermediate chronotypes. Consequently, future studies could explore the effects of exercise timing on people with stronger morning or evening preferences. However, based on the available evidence, rather than focusing on timing, the best advice is probably to prioritise the time of day that: a) Is most convenient for you. b) Helps you stay consistent. c) You enjoy. ❓When is your favourite time of day to work out? #health #wellbeing #performance ------ I'm James, a speaker & scientist who equips knowledge workers with science-based tools to improve their wellbeing & performance.
