Episode 87 - Benefits of Sprinting!

One all-out sprint session every 7 to 10 days is sufficient to trigger a cascade of positive neuroendocrine, hormonal, and gene expression events that promote muscle development, fat loss, increased energy and alertness, and delayed aging. (Primal Health Institute)

A sprint workout comprises 4 to 6 sprints, each lasting between 8 and 30 seconds. Duration, recovery intervals, and number of repetitions vary according to the activity you choose, as well as your ability and experience levels.

Since the focus for sprinting is on developing explosive power and maximum physical energy output, the duration of the recovery interval (how long you wait to start your next effort) should be sufficient enough for respiration to return to near normal and for you to feel mentally refreshed enough to tackle another effort.

Running uphill sprints significantly lessens impact trauma compared to running flat sprints, while sprinting on a stationary bike, elliptical machine, rowing machine, or in a swimming pool are zero-impact options appropriate for enthusiasts of all fitness levels. These low-impact options result in less musculoskeletal trauma than running on flat ground. 

Research confirms that the health and fitness benefits of sprinting in many ways surpass the benefits of cardiovascular workouts that last several times as long.  

Being flexible with your workout planning is critical. If you notice on your first couple of sprint efforts that your body doesn't respond in the expected manner due to fatigue, you should end the session and attempt another sprint session when energy and motivation levels are optimal.

Give sprinting a try and let me know how it goes!
