3 Minutes Of Sprinting May Do Something 90 Slower Minutes Can't

“Just a few minutes of intense exercise can trigger a significant molecular response.”

Not only is any movement far, far better than none, but even a 10-minute, relatively slow jog can benefit your joints, heart, and longevity.

Still, new research published in Cell Reports Medicine has suggested that sprinting, along with other higher-intensity exercise like intense cycling, could offer unique health advantages.

In fact, the Rockefeller University – whose Weslie R. and William H. Janeway Laboratory of Molecular Metabolism, which was used in the study, is headed by Dr Cohen – said, “Three minutes of sprinting can do something that 90 minutes of moderate exercise apparently cannot: dramatically reshape the molecular contents of the bloodstream”.

Why might sprinting or HIIT be so different to regular........
