NOTE

Choosing Between High-Intensity and Moderate-Intensity Training

The choice between high-intensity and moderate-intensity training depends on individual goals, preferences, and available time. High-intensity training offers time efficiency and rapid improvements in adaptations and mitochondrial content, while moderate-intensity zone two training yields similar adaptations with a larger volume of exercise sustained for a longer duration. It's important to incorporate both types of exercise training for a well-rounded approach. For those committing two to five hours of training per week, half of the training should be vigorous intensity for VO2 max improvements and brain benefits. High-intensity interval training has unique benefits for brain health, showing additional neuroprotective and cognitive benefits.
