You should really differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. They are completely different and type 1 cannot be cured or controlled with exercise. 

Pretty sure that's true with most all modes of training (power wise). What do you think the power output would be 30 days later with the same workouts on the  3on 1 off protocol? Reduced.
More importantly from a health standpoint,  with significant inflammation produced after 2 days what do you think it's like after 24 day of 30 High Intensity training  (30n 1off?)
It's in a chronic state throughout. 
Which is why via plenty data showing this or decades of trial and error, other than CrossFit you'll never see high intensity training in sports or fitness programming more than 12 times in a month. Sometimes less. 
Training performance is significantly better, skills and auxiliary capacity's are better developed with the other designated days for them, body maintains higher levels of orthopedic, neural and cellular health.

This is a pretty interesting study. It’s become all too common to assume that inflammation is bad. This is not true at all. Inflammatory responses evolved over millions of years to protect and repair our bodies from acute stressors like exercise, injuries and infections.
Inflammation is bad when it becomes chronic and systemic. Unresolved inflammation contributes to a variety of chronic disease states.
What this study shows is that the inflammatory response following CrossFit workouts is temporary and normalizes within 24 hours. This is really good news. These CrossFit athletes were able to mount an effective inflammatory response, resolve it and return to peak performance in a very short time window.
Echoing Peter, further study with a larger, more diverse sample and over a longer time scale would be great to see.

Great video, and congratulations to the Raine's!

Inspirational story, thank you for sharing. Undoctored by William Davis is a great reference for those looking to also get off the medications that often have adverse side effects just like Dani decided for herself.

This is one of the best videos you have put out. I've been preaching this in my practice for years and it falls mostly on deaf ears. I am in southwest Louisiana. Type 2 diabetes will cripple our nation and economy  in 5 years at the current rate. It will make Covid look like festival. Crossfit has been leading the way in the battle for world wide awareness and health. I refer all my patients to crossfit as the #1 exercise choice. These people are the true heroes of our society .. They make the hard choices every day. Choices that often put them at odds with society and even family. They deserve a lot of credit. I know the journey is not easy but its worth every drop of sweat. 

Did yesterday’s workout. Results there. 

Interesting data. However, 1) there study was too short and did not accurately cover the time frame of cycles that I witness in my box. I don't see the individuals in this age group taking rest days after two sessions. The study should have followed these men for a minimum of a two week cycle. 2) The age group covers the demographic in CrossFit gyms but what about data on older individuals over a longer period. 3) There was no mention of the diet and sleep which needs to be uniform among the participants. 3) I think singular WODS should have been measured and collected before combining elements. 4) There are many confounding factors in this study.

That makes complete sense to me ... And bears out with how we train. The more we train, the less sore we are, and, therefore, our recovery is faster 👍

Macro view template analysis

Workout Structure: 
First day was followed “AMRAP” template. This exercise was a couplet modality that was combined of high reps weightlifting movements and gymnastic movements. This WOD used complementary movements, so the training purpose was to improving the stamina and strength of full body muscles. Stamina, strength and cardiorespiratory played a major role in this WOD. Moreover, the aerobic system was dominant energy pathway in this program. 

Second day was followed “AMRAP” template, too. This exercise was a single modality WOD that used of two movements in gymnastic element; one of them was dynamic and another was a static. The training purpose was to improving the stamina. This WOD was fire the shoulder and core muscles. Stamina and cardiorespiratory played a major role in this WOD. Howover, Strength, flexibility, balance and coordination were challenged. Moreover, the aerobic system was dominant energy pathway in this program.

Third day was followed “For Time” template. This WOD wad designed based on reverse pyramid. This exercise was a single modality WOD that used of two movements in gymnastic element. The main purpose of this exercise was to implement new skills in the form of the high-intensity exercise and improve the stamina. Stamina and cardiorespiratory played a major role in this exercise. Furthermore, strength, flexibility, balance and coordination are challenged. Moreover, the lactic acid system was a dominant energy pathway in this program.

Conclusion
As can be seen, 2 energy pathways (aerobic and lactic acid) were challenged in this cycle. Moreover, the stamina, strength, cardiorespiratory, flexibility, balance and coordination played a major role in this circle of programming. Also, power is latent in the nature of these programs.
As a final note, “AMRAP” and “For Time” templates were used for programming in this cycle.

Enjoy your rest day and recover your physical and mental dimensions
