Siim Land you have too much protein in your diet because you once competed in a bodybuilding competition and why you put too much protein in your diet. When you take collagen peptides in the morning, you should not add other protein from the supplement to them because this will interfere with the absorption of collagen.
No such a thing as too much protein
@willemvanriet7160 There is and you don’t need anywhere as much as you think
Masters degree in human performance? Wow. Never heard of it
now you did 🙂
@@SardonianSmilenow he has*

Whats simm biological and chronological age? And blood type?
Can you do a Video on iodine i See very conflicting Information on it
Took a lot from this as explained in every day language compare to say a Huberman podcast, thanks!
If V02 max is the key to longevity, then, how come : (1) 4 minute milers and olympic marathoners tend to only live to the average age of 77, (2) brisk walkers tend to live to the age of 86, (3) Olympic Golfers have the same lifespan as Olympic Cyclists, and (4) Olympic Sprinters die earlier than the general population. The Elite Cardio athletes are not doing so well in lifespan measurements compared to walkers.
Sources:
1 4 minute milers – BMJ
2. Olympic Marathoners – BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil
3. Brisk Walkers – 2019 Mayo Clinic Proceedings / UK Biobank Data
4. Olympic Golfer / Cyclist Comparison – BMJ
5 Olympic Sprinters – BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil
The way others have addressed this data in the past is that they presume / argue that the Elite athletes must have gotten fat and out of shape in their elderly years and that’s why the stats are skewed like that. In essence, others have’ presumed that the Elites lost their V02 max levels as they got older out of laziness. I don’t buy that argument. First, the upper echelon of the Elites have intrinsically naturally high VO2 levels, even without training. Second, Elite Athletes don’t tend to be lazy and they tend to have a lot of discipline. I doubt that most Elites go from a history of high level fitness to sitting on the couch most of the time . Compared to the general population,, elder elites are more likely to engage in fitness activities, but they don’t have impressive levels of longevity on average.
I will further add that my dad is eating his ice cream, taking his BP medication, never did much cardio (at least not in the last 35 years) and at 85, he is outliving most elite cardio athletes.
I tend to agree that VO2 max is somewhat overstated as far as longevity goes, especially the claims about it being equal to smoking, but you need to re-read your sources. In depth, because you’re not exactly right either. What does appear to be the case though, is that a high VO2 max in and off itself is not necessarily associated with longevity as the mendelian studies show, but that the exercise required to increase your VO2 max is the cause of any longevity benefit. VO2 max is then a proxy for healthy exercise habits.
The answer seems straightforward for Olympic athletes. They push their bodies to the extreme limit of performance, to the <0.001%, often with PED, and in doing so they end up with side effects, such as enlarged hearts etc. I haven't checked the data, but comparing brisk walkers to brisk walker + occasional HIIT for VO2, the combination/cross-training seems like the best approach for longevity and health span. Bonus point, it's not just longevity, health span is key as well, and limiting exercise to brisk walks clamps down on possible health span experienced.
@@TC-by3il I am not wrong. How could I be wrong? I did not state a position. I simply reported findings in various sources, made some comparisons and posed a question. Nothing is incorrect about what I stated.
I am an avid exerciser (running, sprinting, lifting, sports, some walking), but to date I have not seen evidence that exercise alone or in combination with a well balanced diet provides extreme longevity benefits.
So far, with respect to all of the studies I looked at in terms of exercise and lifespan, the Brisk Walkers did the best. Tour De France participants did the next best, but fell far short of the brisk walkers. Now, of course, I am comparing disparate sets of data. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, there are not too many data sets to work with for looking at lifespan data (as measured in added years of life) in relation to exercise.
Endurance athletes could pickup the calcification and heart damage due to their high carb diets (during training and races e.g. glucose syrups, sugar in hydration drinks) and likely insulin resistance as they age. One can’t out-exercise bad metabolic health forever.
Nonsense; your (likely) high protein diet is far more deadly; activating Mtor excessively (real accumulative science). I do not recommend unwholesome carbohydrates, however. Dates and water is enough, though, for example – to enable endurance. Americana bro-science and your followers live in a very narrow world of scientific delusion; due to massive tunnel vision; not able to hear anything else than the echoing passes of gas of your fellow inmates. Not seeing the forest for the trees.
And endurance training trashes your left ventricle, increased the chances of Afib and necessitating the fitting of a pacemaker later in life (ie. Peter Snell).
Potentially also way too low on Omega 3 which is fairly directly linked to
Actually, the calcification is due to disruption of laminar flow in the arteries. Carbs do not increase apoB, saturated fat does. When you add higher apoB (or ldl-p) along with arterial flow disruption due to higher blood flow soft plaque accumulates which then causes calcification.
Some of it is also probably due to high lp(a) and laminar flow disruption.
Any liquid flowing thru a “pipe” at huger pressure /rate will erode the pipe and cause damage.
I run on the track for HIIT. Started with 400m in +-90 seconds. After hearing of Norwegian method I switched to 800ms, running +-3min. Finding the 800s better as they keep me in the required physiological state for longer. They’re much harder as one have to sustain your pace longer. I’m 55 so projected max heart rate is 166 and I’m hitting 85% of that at 140.
At 63, I am finding that the longer effort with Norwegian method was difficult at first because the pace difficult to maintain. Max heart rate is 166 VO2 max 49. The method, for me, is great training for getting the most out of surf ski downwind.
Don’t vo2 max calculations include assumptions relative to the age of the person? How can this truly be accurate since it assumes everyone ages at the same rate.
A slower resting heart rate has been associated with a higher VO2 max, I know many endurance athletes who have a mediocre resting heart rates of 56 bpm. It’s genetics. I was a 60 – 400m track sprinter and my resting heart rate was 29 bpm at 26 years. At 61 years my resting heart rate is low 40’s so my VO₂ max would be well above average.
Vo2 max will be very hard regain you older you get. Even when young you drop alot and hard come back 100%
High intensity for mitochondria and low intensity for stroke volume.
Interesting, I would have put it the other way around
Beetroot and walking hills I love thank you excellent conversation.
I bought some “super shoes” for the austin 10k, decided to try them out on a trail run 2 days before, horribly rolled my ankle and managed to rub away patches on both heels die to the wrong socks for the higher shoe … so, .. I’m not a fan but am interested in trying them in anger.
Didn’t realise Dustin’s Poirier had a Masters 😜
great interview – thanks!!
