Zone 2 training: impact on longevity and mitochondrial function, how to dose frequency and duration, and more | Iñigo San-Millán, Ph.D. (#201 rebroadcast)
This podcast episode explores various topics related to exercise physiology and metabolic function. It discusses the importance of power output and lactate production in predicting success in cycling races, the potential impact of making cyclist data publicly available, the use of biosensors in monitoring physiological parameters, and the measurement of exercise intensity using an indirect calorimeter. The episode also delves into the relationship between lactate threshold and fat oxidation, disparities in fat oxidation and lactate levels among individuals, and the importance of lactate oxidation in elite athletes' performance. Additionally, it explores the impact of different diets on fuel utilization, the metabolism of ICU patients, the role of exercise in managing glucose levels, heart rate variability, and structuring individual training programs. The episode also touches on aging and metabolic health, NAD supplementation, and the potential effects of sedentary behavior on mitochondrial function. Overall, it provides valuable insights into various aspects of exercise physiology and metabolic health.
