no doubt. common sense tells me that working any muscle, including the heart, as much as the athletes in the study do could potentially lead to some damage. my point is that the level of intensity being discussed in the study is not remotely relevant to most people. keep in mind that the article (and other studies) recommend interval and high intensity workouts - this is because one can get a lot fitness benefit in a shorter amount of time (although there's a lot more to it that). but there's a huge difference between 20min sub-threshold workout for joe average cyclist and a sub-threshold marathon effort from jill elite runner. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
