Nutrition for Immune Function
Post-workout nutrition is often touted as important for gains and recovery, which is certainly true, but proper nutrition at this time can also improve immune function.
HIIT and Concurrent Training
Cardiovascular exercise can have an interference effect on strength and size gains. This study found that HIIT cardio did not interfere with strength or size gains.
