This study used cycling sprints. I wonder if a similar effect would be observed with say, a set of pushups or squats every hour

- swader999 7y agoSure why not? Mix it up.
- alecco 7y agoThey probably picked cycling because it's easier to measure and there's less variation. And there's much more literature on it (e.g. Tabata/HIIT protocols). I feel squats properly done would be even better as more muscles are involved. With the added benefit of not needing equipment.
- huffmsa 7y agoProbably. But I think the body gets Abit tricked when the legs come into play in a locomotive fashion. Particular sprinting. It's primal.
- chronogram 7y agoLeg muscles are a lot larger. You can easily stay warm while cycling or walking at a brisk pace in the winter. Less so when standing still and doing pushups or situps.
