- Short, vigorous workouts may accelerate fitness and enhance health, according to recent studies.
- A latest investigation revealed that one-minute sessions of intense exercise assisted individuals in better recovery from strokes.
- Evidence is mounting that just a few minutes of exercise “snacks” can contribute to extending lifespan and improving overall wellness.
A few moments dedicated to high-octane physical activity can markedly influence your well-being, research reveals.
According to findings shared on August 8 in the journal
study provides promising insights indicating that stroke survivors are capable of safely partaking in high-intensity workouts which subsequently bolster their recovery process.
Details About the Recent Research
The research team from McGill University and McMaster University conducted their study involving 82 stroke survivors aged between 40 and 80 years who participated in an exercise regimen over the span of twelve weeks. The subjects were divided into two groups undertaking workouts three times per week utilizing a stepper machine.
One group completed a rigorous routine lasting 19 minutes — alternating between full exertion for one minute followed by gentle activity for another minute, continuously repeating this cycle.
The control group participated instead in moderate-level activities comprising 20-30 minute sessions at 40-60% heart rate intensity; resembling an easy jog or brisk walk pace.
Upon conclusion, results indicated that participants engaged with high-intensity training realized improvements (as measured by VO2 max) twice as significant as those undergoing moderate routines. These benefits were also sustained at eight weeks during follow-up assessments.
“With appropriate guidance and support systems, stroke survivors can engage effectively with high-intensity interval training while significantly enhancing their overall well-being,” stated Kevin Moncion, physiotherapist at McMaster University and the lead researcher behind this study during an official announcement.

Using short bursts – often labeled “exercise snacks,” these swift segments have been identified not only beneficial for recovering from strokes but also for reducing risks associated with them.
Studies consistently reveal each additional movement contributes toward diminishing early mortality rates tied to illnesses such as cancer or cardiovascular disease.<
