If you don’t have a lot
of time to exercise during the day, you might want to learn about this new
study from Institute for Health & Sport at Victoria University in
Melbourne, Australia. The study claims two minutes of vigorous exercise is just
as effective as a 30-minute workout and was published in the American
Journal of Physiology — Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.
A Small Study
This small study says
only two minutes of vigorous exercise has the same effect 30 minutes of
continuous moderate intensity aerobic exercise. It supports the concept of
intense, short workout bursts. However, it does not replace regular types of
exercise.
“This type of sprint
exercise might be best used as 'icing on the cake' in addition to other regular
forms of exercise, since the difficulty of the sprint exercise used in this
study should not be underestimated,” says study lead author Adam Trewin, a researcher at the
Institute for Health & Sport at Victoria University.
“For many people, this
might not be enjoyable and/or tolerable to perform regularly,” he added.
Mitochondria Response
Researchers had
participants perform three types of workouts on a stationary bike, including
five four-minute cycling intervals done at “75% peak effort” and 30 minutes of
continuous training at a “moderate” pace. They observed the mitochondria
response in the participants’ thigh muscles to see whether the responses
changed in light of the workouts. Short bursts of exercise reportedly have the
same effect as longer exercise sessions.
“Your body needs to experience
a certain amount of stress from doing exercise to achieve beneficial
adaptations for health,” Trewin explained. “It appears that this can be
achieved either by performing exercise for a sufficient duration or at a
sufficient intensity.”
