  • High-intensity exercise increases levels of lactate (a metabolite) throughout the body. This has a whole host of beneficial effects. In this video, expect to learn:
    • Details of Rhonda Patrick's Tabata protocol
    • How lactate generated during vigorous exercise spreads to various organs (like the heart & brain)
    • Why executive function tends to improve after high-intensity exercise
    • How the shear force of blood generated during vigorous exercise increases VEGF & BDNF at the blood-brain barrier
    • Rhonda's peak lactate level during vigorous exercise

      Buy some compression sleeves for legs/calves (like heavy duty athletic ones) and wear them for the following two days under your clothes and sleep with them on too. Shaves about a day off the DOMS. Move and walk around as much as possible as well; sucks initially but the more you move the more the DOMS goes away. Water helps too.

    For the people who wants the Key takeaways
    00:14 🧠 *General exercise improves brain health and lowers the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.*
    00:43 🏋️‍♂️ *High-intensity exercise may offer unique brain benefits compared to other types of exercise.*
    01:53 🔄 *The lactate shuttle theory explains how lactate, once considered a waste product, is actually a valuable fuel utilized by various organs, including the brain.*
    03:27 🔬 *Emerging research suggests a link between high-intensity exercise, increased lactate levels, and improved brain function.*
    04:23 💡 *Infusing lactate into humans increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), indicating potential benefits for neurodegenerative diseases.*
    05:18 🧠 *High-intensity exercise correlates with improved executive function in humans, specifically linked to lactate levels.*
    06:40 💪 *High-intensity exercise may also have benefits due to increased blood flow and shear force, potentially impacting brain health and cancer cells.*
    09:10 🌪️ *The unique effects of high-intensity exercise on the brain may distinguish it from moderate, continuous exercise.*

    Good work Rhonda and Martin. Good intel. I've trained intensively for decades. I cannot train at a mild pace as it feels like a waste of time. For me, and as I have told others when I taught a class, the benefits hit the physical, mental, and spiritual.... You should also look at some of the work on meditation and its brain benefits. I've done that since the mid 1990s. Very positive as well. Thanks.

    Wow, very interesting insights! Your thoughts on shear force Rhonda are something I've believed for years but never was able to articulate in the way you just did. You said exactly How I've felt but never had the science to support my thoughts. Thank you for this. I always used the analogy of getting an oil change on your car, the "shear force" as you said is like clearing your pipes from all the junk---a crude analogy I know but it is always how I pictured it. I hope to see more development in this area of HIT on brain health. Parkinson's also runs in my family, so it is a topic I am interested in as well.

    As far as I’m concerned it’s just about pushing yourself, really getting that VO2 max, but this can be done with a hard run, no trotting around, or lifting very heavy for awhile, that by the time you’re done you’re toast, it’s not exactly just sprints

    I have never been fitter since reducing the intensity of my cardio workouts. I do weight training 5 days a week. If I do a tababta on my rogue echo I’m knocked out and need extra recovery time. I occasionsly still do the odd tabata workout but unless you are some kind of professional athlete I think there are more benefits to doing lower intensity cardio and just go hard on the weight training

Here's a great intense exercise I did a while ago as a warm up. I did nonstop burpee pushups for the length of Stairway to Heaven... What an amazing feeling and headspace and body thereafter.....Free...you feel very free.... Watch the film "After Death" , very important documentary on near death experiences as it talks about how several of these people felt their consciousness expand during the experience.....

    Rhonda, the next time you have a weight training/musle guy on your program please ask him what happened to the all or nothing motor unit theory as the new reccomendations saying lighter weights with higher reps are just as effective as heavier weights with less reps contradicts the previous theory. Former personal trainer and old guy(63) that is trying to hold his muscle.

    • @ShaolinIronLeg
      @ShaolinIronLeg 4 місяці тому

      Personal anecdote, you need time to recover from high intensity power efforts. If doing something like submaximal squats for a few days, your jump height will go down if you don't recover enough. It can affect mood, speed, maximal strength, mental focus and reaction time, and probably more. But you can spend a relatively short time doing active recovery and symptoms will resolve. Back to 100% in a few days!
