Um >> but if I knew that it was going to add 20 years to my life or 15 years, I might start becoming a marathoner, but a recent study showed that um it's the pole vters. Not going to get into that. and the gymnasts and I think the high jumpers and the sprinters. So the fast twitch muscle folks that they get a substantial longevity effect you know 5 to eight years on average more than their you know age match cohorts even compared to other highly trained athletes. So I see a result like that and then of course the the reductionist scientist in me says okay so is it the running is it the jumping is it >> but then you think like oh using the corey model I mean you can essentially look at the blood from sprinters versus marathoners and of course they're going to differ these are different people after all very different lifestyles in a number of different ways but >> you have to kind of wonder again whether or not the fe I wonder whether the feedback signals from the body there's such some feedback signals in the form of a chemical that says, "Okay, this body is moving fast, jumping, um, and doing explosive activity essentially on a regular basis that supplies the brain with a a cocktail of things presumably that keeps neurons healthy, keeps them um, you know, keeps the olodenderytes proliferating, >> right? Uh, that make sure that you know you got plenty of myelin to for those fast fast transmission signals.
