Starting exercise with short, frequent bouts (5-10 minutes) may lead to injury because tendons and muscles adapt slower than metabolic fitness.

“especially for people who are starting out an ex or ramping up an exercise program just that that that that patience is so important and that understanding that you will probably overestimate what you can accomplish in the short term and you'll probably underestimate what you can accomplish in the long term but if you do and if you fall into that trap you're dramatically raising your injury risk because you're going to try and ramp up too quickly because again you can gain metabolic fitness more quickly than you can alter the structure of your joints and ligaments and and things like that”

“and what do we know about injury prevention in that person that probably they're gonna get injured because they're gonna because they're gonna find that they're no matter how metabolically unfit they are they're probably going to find that they gain metabolic fitness more quickly than they gain uh you know tendon stiffness and and and muscle strength and things like that”

“if you do and if you fall into that trap you're dramatically raising your injury risk because you're going to try and ramp up too quickly because again you can gain metabolic fitness more quickly than you can alter the structure of your joints and ligaments and and things like that”

“they're probably going to find that they gain metabolic Fitness more quickly than they gain uh you know tendon stiffness and and and muscle strength and things like that so in a sense that's a even more reason to to sort of take that guideline seriously”
