Since I\u2019m always tempted to push the envelope on this,  I decided to ask Google Gemini deep research to investigate it for me: Endurance Exercise Volume, Intensity and Human Longevity. It came up with <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1hBZUWeRqlEEeM8kIew9f4xyGpC5dTdA_GdLylPkKqvw\/edit?usp=sharing\">this report<\/a>, which is summarized in <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1eZpHwpfW2Hk9Zpp-l4S2PAiAHlUXeotN\/view?usp=sharing\">this podcast<\/a> derived from the report. It is an interesting update. In the past some studies have seemed to show a \u201cU-shaped curve\u201d of longevity vs exercise volume: Exercise reduces all-cause mortality, with the benefit increasing with more exercise, up to a point. After that, mortality risk increases again. This is not born out in meta-analyses of the majority of studies, however. Instead, all-cause mortality continues to go down no matter how much you exercise. But beyond a certain point, we are at higher risk of developing certain cardiac abnormalities like Afib or scarring of the heart. This seems to be more likely for those doing a lot of high intensity training.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re like me and enjoy lots of endurance training, it\u2019s a good idea to follow a system like <a href=\"https:\/\/bionicoldguy.home.blog\/2019\/02\/12\/on-pacing-liss-and-hiit-but-dont-miss-too-much\/\">polarized training<\/a> where most of your training is at easy intensity, with a minority of workouts at higher intensity. Other recommendations are also given in <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1hBZUWeRqlEEeM8kIew9f4xyGpC5dTdA_GdLylPkKqvw\/edit?usp=sharing\">the report<\/a> like possibly undergoing cardiac screening to minimize the risk of cardiac abnormalities. Because I had a heart-valve replacement in the past I\u2019m under the ongoing care of a cardiologist, and am glad to get periodically screened.<\/p>\n<div id=\"jp-post-flair\" class=\"sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sd-content\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-linkedin\"\/>\n<li class=\"share-facebook\"\/>\n<li class=\"share-pinterest\">\n<div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbionicoldguy.home.blog%2F2025%2F06%2F26%2Fmore-fun-with-deep-research-endurance-exercise-and-longevity%2F&amp;media=https%3A%2F%2Fbionicoldguy.home.blog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F06%2Fimage-10.png&amp;description=More%20Fun%20With%20Deep%20Research%3A%20Endurance%20Exercise%20and%20Longevity\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"\/><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- .entry-footer --><\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-author-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"entry-author author-avatar-show\">\n<div class=\"author-avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t<img referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" alt=\"Unknown's avatar\" src=\"https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=80&amp;d=&amp;r=G\" srcset=\"https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=80&amp;d=&amp;r=G 1x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=120&amp;d=&amp;r=G 1.5x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=160&amp;d=&amp;r=G 2x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=240&amp;d=&amp;r=G 3x, https:\/\/2.gravatar.com\/avatar\/25e2835f41aad499102b7dccdf750ee9842e9a75fa2931cd1ba6fa84c47eafd5?s=320&amp;d=&amp;r=G 4x\" class=\"avatar avatar-80\" height=\"80\" width=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!-- .author-avatar --><\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"author-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\tPublished by <span class=\"author-name\">BionicOldGuy<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- .author-heading --><\/p>\n<p class=\"author-bio\">\n\t\t\t\tI am a Mechanical Engineer born in 1953, Ph.
