Watching Your Biomarkers Can Pay Dividends

A Biowhat?!?
Biomarkers!! They're the labels we put on the subcategory of all the medical terms that are important in determining a persons health. Here's a list of some biomarkers that we use here at the M.O.G. to help us help you!
vO2 Max: Measures of the maximum level of oxygen that an athlete can use, measured in kilograms of body weight per minute.
Ventilatory Rate: The point during exercise at which ventilation starts to increase at a faster rate than vO2.
HDL: The good cholesterol. 
LDL: The bad cholesterol.
These are just a bite of what biomarkers there are that physicians, along with other healthcare professionals alike, use to help determine your quality of health. These biomarkers can then be used to determine an exercise program to help you improve them, and thus improve your quality of life.

In a recent study 60 male older adults performed a submaximal exercise test (walking on a treadmill at 2.5mph for 6 minutes) and their vO2 and ventilatory rate was measured. The subjects were then asked to perform a color-word Stroop test to test cognitive function. The research found that those with a higher ventilatory rate scored higher in cognitive tests. So what does the mean? Quite simply it means that Exercise=Improved Memory.

Can That M.O.G. Thing Help?
You better believe it. In fact, the M.O.G. has been measuring these biomarkers since before this study was even published. Now, when you see an increase in your vO2 and ventilatory rate during your quarterly evaluation with our professional trainers, you'll see an improvement in your memory and overall cognitive function as well.
