Dr. Gibala adds some words of caution and encouragement to those interested in short, yet difficult, exercise
training: «For now, if you'd like to try a
high -
intensity session, first visit a doctor for clearance, then simply push yourself very hard during your
next workout, whether it is running, cycling or Zumba.»
Take a typical strength / power athlete like a gymnast / long jumper / weightlifter: they will
train every day or more, a very
high intensity, they will not chase muscle damage and they will typically use recovery aids like icing, so the
next training session they'll be able to
train very hard and increase their neural capabilities.
