High-intensity intermittent cycling increases purine loss compared with workload-matched continuous moderate intensity cycling

Arterial compliance increases after moderate-intensity cycling.

Exercise training elevates arterial compliance at rest, but the effects of acute exercise in this regard are unknown. This study investigated the effects of a single, 30-min bout of cycling exercise at 65% of maximal oxygen consumption on indexes of arterial compliance. Whole body arterial compliance determined noninvasively from simultaneous measurements of aortic flow and carotid pressure was...

Does prolonged cycling of moderate intensity affect immune cell function?

BACKGROUND Prolonged exercise may induce temporary immunosuppression with a presumed increased susceptibility for infection. However, there are only few data on immune cell function after prolonged cycling at moderate intensities typical for road cycling training sessions. METHODS The present study examined the influence on immune cell function of 4 h of cycling at a constant intensity of 70%...

High-Intensity Intermittent Exercise and Fat Loss

The effect of regular aerobic exercise on body fat is negligible; however, other forms of exercise may have a greater impact on body composition. For example, emerging research examining high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) indicates that it may be more effective at reducing subcutaneous and abdominal body fat than other types of exercise. The mechanisms underlying the fat reduction indu...
