Using a randomized crossover study, Tori Bouck (@UBCFHSD) and colleagues found that fasting-induced #glucose intolerance is not impacted by the addition of daily #exercise 💊 🚴

Interested in individual responses?...it takes more than just looking at your values and splitting the highs from the lows...this primer is really helpful #ACSM26
You can split a control group and get high and low responses...that's a clue

For years, my colleague, Prof. Martin Gibala, and I have appeared on literally hundreds of podcasts. Today, we dropped our own podcast! As lifetime faculty members of the McMaster Department of Kinesiology, we thought it was time for our take on reality in the world of exercise, nutrition, health, and more.
The Podcast is Real Exercise Science, and you can pick it up on all your favourite platforms.
The goal? Real science, not hype. Not fluff, not the latest paper, but evidence, with scientific humility. But reality means disappointment sometimes. That stuff you heard about protein, lifting, Zone 2, peptides, GLP-1... It's often more than the data shows, extrapolation, overstatement, or downright wrong.
Hard facts, no hype!
Episode 1 dropped today realexercisescience.com/?r=7… and featured a chat about the updated American College of Sports Medicine position stand in honour of day 1 of the ACSM annual meeting in Salt Lake City!
I'm in Salt Lake City with Marty, and you can hear an amazing update on the position stand journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/f…
Wednesday, May 27, 3:15-4:45 MDT - see you there.

From the group of @Gonzalez_JT (in @JPhysiol ): low CHO availability augments exercise-induced ACC phosphorylation (pACC), while CHO ingestion suppresses it—independent of lipid availability. AMPK unchanged. 🔬🏃♂️🔬

HIIT critics have long argued that results are propped up by poor methods.
This RCT from Drs. Gibala & Gurd dismantles that critique: SIT 3x/week for 6 weeks improved VO₂peak in inactive adults
Methodological flaws? Not here.
Clear evidence. #HIIT

Just published:
We show that the mitochondrial targeted drug SkQ1 prevents muscle weakness before and after atrophy occurs during ovarian cancer. This effect is linked to altered SR calcium release (thanks to @chenglabyorku for help with this discovery!)
