Researchers keep looking at vigorous vs. moderate; maybe a combo like interval training is even better for us?

I started thinking about this based on the amazing difference adding acetyl l-carnatine into my daily regimen has made. I take one 500 mg capsule in the morning and experience virtually no wearing offs, and if I do symptoms are much less pronounced. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory, plus it increase mental alertness and boosts energy. I learned that acetyl l- carnatine is something we naturally produce through vigorous or intense exercise. Could this be a factor somehow? Maybe the 80-90 rpm puts you into a "zone" where this is released? This would also explain why symptomatic benefit does not seem to be permanent...just a thought.
