8x Increase in "Mitochondria Building" Protein PGC1-Alpha W/ Medium Intensity Exercise in Glycogen Depleted Elite(!) Cyclists: Training Revolution or Recipe for Disaster?
With only 2-7x increases in PGC1-alpha expression HIIT seems to lag behind compared to this "eat low, train low, gain high" strategy, but not every protein essay that glitters in the petri dish will turn into Olympic Gold in the real world ;-) As a diligent student of the SuppVersity you should by now have at least a preliminary understanding of how the adaptive machine you call your "body" adapts to the various nutritional and physical challenges most people subsume under the all-encompassing and pretty nondescript terms "diet" and "exercise". Against that background it should not really come as a surprise that researchers from the The Swedish School of Sport and Health Science are soon going to publish the data of an experiment that shows that even (you could probably also say, in particular, although respective evidence is still missing) highly trained athletes can benefit from exercising in a glyocogen depleted state - at least if the y...
