All cellular activity is fueled by adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which resides in each of your cells. When you sprint for a cab, run to a base in softball, play tag with your kids or start to exercise at high intensity, you use ATP's small supply of stored energy.

Hearts Get 'Younger,' Even At Middle Age, With Exercise

by Patti Neighmond 12/3/18 npr

Eventually it happens to everyone. As we age, even if we're healthy, the heart becomes less flexible, more stiff and just isn't as efficient in processing oxygen as it used to be. In most people the first signs show up in the 50s or early 60s. And among people who don't exercise, the underlying changes can start even sooner.

by Kristen Rogers 1/3/23 CNN

When you can’t fit your entire workout into a busy day, do you think there’s no point in doing anything at all? You should rethink that mindset. Just 11 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic activity per day could lower your risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease or premature death, a large new study has found.

Look to exercise to extend life, even for the oldest, study says

by Sandee LaMotte 17/10/22 CNN

That would be a mistake, a new study found. Independent of aerobic physical activity, adults over 65 who did strength training two to six times per week lived longer than those who did less than two, according to study author Dr. Bryant Webber, an epidemiologist in the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Being aerobically fit in middle age may reduce Alzheimer’s and dementia risk, study says

Some people — who are they? — have no problem fitting regular aerobic exercise into their lives. The rest of us want to know how much we have to exercise to see health benefits. Now we have some answers: You may want to go just a tad longer and harder than you'd thought.

Even A Little Exercise Can Help Your Heart

by Nancy Shute 2/8/11 npr

Plus, let's be honest, having the federal government tell us it's a terrific idea to get 2 1/2 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity a week doesn't really help our motivation much. Sorry.

People into late middle age can reverse or reduce the risk of heart failure caused by decades of sedentary living by exercising, a study has found.

Exercise 'keeps the mind sharp' in over-50s, study finds

by BBC 25/4/17

Physical activity has long been known to reduce the risk of a number of diseases, including type-2 diabetes and some cancers, and it is thought to play a role in warding off the brain's natural decline as we enter middle age.

New Physical Activity Guidelines Urge Americans: Move More, Sit Less

by Allison Aubrey 12/11/18 npr

Compared with 1960, workers in the U.S. burn about 140 fewer calories, on average, per day due to our sedentary office jobs. And, while it's true that sitting for prolonged periods is bad for your health, the good news is that we can offset the damage by adding more physical activity to our days.

Aerobic exercise helpful for asthma

by Lisa Rapaport 17/7/15 Reuters

While it’s not surprising that asthma patients may benefit from aerobic exercise, the findings offer new evidence that physical activity can help even in patients who are already controlling symptoms with medication, said lead author Dr. Celso Carvalho, a researcher at the University of Sao Paulo School of Medicine in Brazil.

Aerobic Exercise and Weight Loss in Adults

by Ahmad Jayedi JAMA

This meta-analyses of 116 randomized clinical trials involving 6880 adults with overweight or obesity found that levels of body weight, waist circumference, and body fat decreased linearly or monotonically with increasing duration of aerobic exercise at moderate to vigorous intensities to 300 minutes per week. Aerobic exercise at least 150 minutes per week was associated with clinically important reductions in waist circumference and measures of body fat.

Effect of aerobic exercise on hippocampal volume in humans: A systematic review and meta-analysis

by Joseph Firth 1/2/18 ScienceDirect

Hippocampal volume increase in response to aerobic exercise has been consistently observed in animal models. However, the evidence from human studies is equivocal. We undertook a systematic review to identify all controlled trials examining the effect of aerobic exercise on the hippocampal volumes in humans, and applied meta-analytic techniques to determine if aerobic exercise resulted in volumetric increases.

MAP training: combining meditation and aerobic exercise reduces depression and rumination while enhancing synchronized brain activity

by B L Alderman 2/2/16 nature

Mental and physical (MAP) training is a novel clinical intervention that combines mental training through meditation and physical training through aerobic exercise. The intervention was translated from neuroscientific studies indicating that MAP training increases neurogenesis in the adult brain.

Dose-Response of Aerobic Exercise on Cognition: A Community-Based, Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

by Eric D. Vidoni 9/7/15 PLOS One

Epidemiological studies suggest a dose-response relationship exists between physical activity and cognitive outcomes. However, no direct data from randomized trials exists to support these indirect observations.

Aerobic interval training and continuous training equally improve aerobic exercise capacity in patients with coronary artery disease: The SAINTEX-CAD study

by Viviane M. Conraads 20/1/15 ScienceDirect

Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation increases peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2), which is an important predictor of mortality in cardiac patients. However, it remains unclear which exercise characteristics are most effective for improving peak VO2 in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.

White matter plasticity in healthy older adults: The effects of aerobic exercise

by Andrea Mendez Colmenares 1/10/21 ScienceDirect

White matter deterioration is associated with cognitive impairment in healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease. It is critical to identify interventions that can slow down white matter deterioration. So far, clinical trials have failed to demonstrate the benefits of aerobic exercise on the adult white matter using diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Here, we report the effects of a 6-month aerobic walking and dance interventions (clinical trial NCT01472744) on white matter integrity in healthy older adults (n = 180, 60–79 years) measured by changes in the ratio of calibrated T1- to T2-weighted images (T1w/T2w).
