Which type of exercise is better for improving cardiometabolic health: aerobic training or resistance training?

The answer: They are complementary.

Our new meta-analysis indicates that aerobic and resistance training provide distinct benefits that work together to produce a synergistic effect on cardiometabolic health.

Bottom line: It doesn't have to be an either-or decision. Do both.

Kudos to @alexbatrakoulis for spearheading the paper 💪

New 'Preliminary Report' submission format at Science and Medicine in Football. An idea that should be interesting for other journals! Explicitly make space for honestly reported smaller sample-size studies https://t.co/Qa0ovyHfEl

New study out in @EJAP_official! We found a cardiac power paradox in elite soccer players: stronger hearts may mean weaker leaps. ⚽️❤️ A special collaboration with my alma mater, Aristotle University, and my former professors.

My latest perspective is out now in @ajpheartcirc. In it, I call for sustained research funding for precision lifestyle medicine to combat CKM Syndrome. Now, more than ever, we must support science. #ScienceFunding #LifestyleMedicine #CKMNIH https://t.co/Gp71WqCaGa

Arguably the most important project in the history of exercise science thus far. Equally enlightening is the accompanying "Reflections" paper. This conversation is long overdue. Congrats to @JennyMurphy2 for this incredible achievement and to @SportsMedicineJ for publishing these papers.
