Cyclic Exercise Benefits Parkinson’s Patients

“These results demonstrate enhanced motor skills and mood elevation with cyclic exercise and suggest that this protocol induces the formation of anti-inflammatory signal molecules, which appear to be associated with alleviation of some of the clinical characteristics of Parkinson’s Disease.”

Sitting Around Makes You Want to Sit Around; Challenging Yourself Leads to Fitness and Longevity

“(Lack of exercise) results in a vicious cycle that increases oxidative stress and reduces metabolic flexibility and perpetuates the disease state. In contrast, hormetic stimuli can induce an anti-inflammatory phenotype… leading to greater biological fitness and improved functional longevity. The links between obesity, the metabolic syndrome, diabetes, vascular disease and even cancer, are now all too clear.”

Acute Aerobic Exercise Stimulates Growth Hormone Release

“GH secretion declines with aging by approximately 14% per decade after the age of 40…

Acute aerobic exercise is a powerful stimulus to GH release…

Recent data from our laboratory indicate that, in young men and women, the magnitude of GH release rises with increasing exercise intensity in a linear dose-response relationship.”
