NEW DELHI: (Aug 17) Six sets of 30-second, all-out sprints altered nearly a quarter of the proteins measured immediately afterward, whereas moderate, continuous cycling for 90 minutes altered fewer than one-quarter of one percent, a study has found.
Researchers, including those at The Rockefeller University, US, also found that while moderate running on a treadmill changed more proteins than cycling, it still altered far fewer than a quick sprint.
"SIE (sprint interval exercise) altered (nearly) 25 per cent of detected plasma proteins, including factors involved in angiogenesis (VWF), extracellular matrix remodelling (TIMP3), gut signalling (TFF2), and potential neuro-regulation (POMC)," the authors wrote in the study published in the journal Cell Reports Medicine.
