Three minutes a week is enough to start the process pohudeniya

In May, the New York Times published an article in which it has been scientifically proved that only 7 minutes of exercise will help to stay in good physical shape.

But who in our time there is a free 7 minutes? Now researchers have found that just one minute very intense workout three times a week can significantly strengthen the muscles and heart in people who are overweight.

Researchers from Canada's McMaster University in Ontario gathered a group of 14 men and women. All of these people were overweight, but they were all in relatively good physical shape in order to experience the new accelerated fitness regime.

First, all participants regularly exercises at least twice a week, and they were very far from the recommended level of physical activity, which is 150 minutes of exercise each week.

During this phase, researchers have accumulated a certain amount of information about the health of the subjects, and they took a blood test. They are then transferred to test 6-week training regimen. During this test, the researchers adjusted the diet of each participant, using a special formula to calculate the required amount of calories - about 2600 calories for women and 1,800 calories for women.

Subjects came to the lab three times a week. Each training session consisted of three intensive "races" on the exercise bike, each lasting 20 seconds. Between "races" were two-minute breaks. Thus, subjects pedaled a total of three minutes per week.

After 6 weeks, it became clear that only 1 minute of intense exercise three times a week for 6 weeks, it may be efficient enough to cause significant physiological changes in 14 overweight people.

In both men and women is significantly improved blood pressure and blood glucose values. Maximum oxygen consumption of the body (one of the best indicators to evaluate the performance of the cardiovascular system) increased by 12%.
