Disclaimer:
"During this episode, I referenced a study indicating cardiovascular training can reverse heart ageing by approximately 20 years. To clarify, the research I mentioned (Howden et al., 2018) involved previously sedentary adults who engaged in structured, high-intensity cardiovascular training consistently over two years (not one year, as stated).
