Personalized Exercise Regime

Scientists know that different types of exercise have different effects on health, explains Dr William Kraus, who studies heart disease prevention at Duke University. “The benefits vary by type, intensity, and amount of exercise,” he says.

For example, his lab has observed that long bouts of moderate-intensity exercises, like brisk walking, may be especially good at lowering blood sugar levels. This can be important for people trying to prevent diabetes. But maybe you want to reduce the levels of “bad” cholesterol in your blood to help prevent a heart attack. For that, a lot of high-intensity exercises to get your heart pounding may help the most, Kraus adds. His team has observed these effects across ages and for both men and women. But when you look at individuals within those groups, he says, not everyone gets the same benefit from the same workout.  “We want to understand how your genetic background determines your response to exercise,” he says. His research team has identified a set of genes that predict who will get the biggest improvements in heart health from aerobic exercise, like jogging or cycling.
