0:00There's a much more recent study that took again older adults and randomized them across three different groups.
0:06One was like a low-intensity group.
0:08Another group basically did kind of zone two type work on a treadmill three times a week.
0:12And the third group did a high-intensity interval training intervention, which is the Norwegian four by four protocol.
0:19So four minutes, 85 to 95% of maximum heart rate.
0:22They had a three-minute rest in their protocol.
0:24They did that four times over.
0:26That's three times a week.
0:27Three times a week for six months.
0:28That's pretty intense.
0:29But what they showed was that that high-intensity interval training group, they improved their fitness just as well as the Zone 2 group, interestingly, but they had much better improvements in hippocampal function and maintenance of hippocampal structural and MRI scan.
0:43And they maintained that benefit for five years after the six-month intervention.
0:49So they worked really hard for six months, but that benefit was maintained for a really long period of time.
0:56Welcome to the Huberman Lab podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.
