How much optimization of exercise is a reasonable goal, given what is presently known? Today’s open access paper makes the fair point that our hunter-gatherer evolution matches us to a certain strategy, meaning a lot of moderate exercise leavened with a smaller amount of intermittent vigorous exercise. Epidemiological evidence supports the merits of a lot of moderate exercise, while suggesting that a lot of vigorous exercise doesn’t add that much to the benefits, and it is actually possible to exercise too much.
The dose-response curve for exercise is one in which small amounts of effort are <a href="https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2018/08/how-little-exercise-is-needed…
