The Power of Intervals: High Intensity Interval Training and Reducing Cardiovascular Risk
About this episode
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: Stephen Kopecky, M.D.
We have a variety of pharmacologic options and lifestyle changes we recommend to our patients to reduce their cardiovascular risks. One frequent recommendation is participation in a regular exercise program. One specific type of exercise is high intensity interval training. It’s been shown to improve a variety of metabolic parameters. What does high intensity interval training consist of? What are the specific metabolic benefits? Can all patients participate in this type of exercise? What’s the recommended duration and frequency of training and how good is patient adherence to interval training? The topic for this podcast is “High Intensity Interval Training and Reducing Cardiovascular Risk” and my guest is Dr. Stephen Kopecky, a preventive cardiologist in the Department of Cardiovascular Disease at the Mayo Clinic.
