A myokine is one of the cytokines or other small proteins that are produced and released by muscle cells in response to muscular contractions. For a long time, it was assumed that muscles were only there to enable us to move, maintain good posture and look good. Since 2000 we know: muscles are one of the largest endocrine organs and they play an important role in regulating skeletal muscle mass.

In the scientific community, high-intensity strength training (HIT) has long been recognized not only as a highly effective and time-saving workout but also as a panacea for long-term health. Unfortunately, such High Intensity Training is largely inaccessible to the general public. AURUM technology makes HIT available for rehab and the older population with nearly zero injury risk.

HIT is very healthy no matter your age or fitness level. When considering HIT Training benefits, you have to take into account every training session both on a macro level, i.e. throughout life, and on a micro level, ie immediately during and after the sporting activity. Done once a week, HIT training can bring enormous health and fitness benefits! Which ones are these?

Science clearly shows why properly executed strength training should be carried out at most once a week. Sports physician Doug McGuff explains in a scientifically sound way how this works. To get fit by training less, one needs to increase the intensity of the workout. How?
