Jakarta Takes First Step on Journey to End Traffic Nightmare with New MRT
Anyone who’s visited Jakarta will know just horrific its traffic congestion can be, with a simple
journey from the airport to downtown potentially taking hours on a bad day.
While this may be no more than a temporary frustration for the occasional visitor, for many
people working in Indonesia’s capital it’s a daily nightmare. A short journey in terms of distance from
the outskirts of the city to the centre through congested and polluted roads can be a couple of hours.
When the traffic jam hit hard, the daily commute can take even longer.
But now help is at hand, from next month, Jakarta will have its own Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)
system which the government hopes will be the first step on the road towards relieving the Indonesian
capital’s traffic congestion nightmare.
The first phase is 98 percent complete. It forms part of the North-South line and is expected to transport
130,000 passengers per day. The proposed fare is 8,500 (US $0.6) per 10 kilometres and according to
the MRT director, Mr William Sabandar. The first phase begins operation in March 14, trains will be
used for daily services from 5 am. To midnight while two others remain on standby in case of
emergency.

Short Burst for Intense Exercise “Better For Weight Loss”

Bursts of high intensity interval training (Hiit) may be more effective for weight loss than longer less
intense workouts, a study suggests.
The research, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, analyzed results from 36 earlier
studies.
Although all the participants lost weight, those doing Hiit saw a 28.5% greater weight loss.
The researchers cautioned that Hiit may not be suitable for everyone.
"Hiit might increase the risk of injury and impose higher cardiovascular stress," they said.

What does the study say?

Researchers from the Federal University of Goias, Brazil, analyzed data from 576 men and 522 women
of varying levels of fitness.
Interval training was defined as cardiovascular exercise which involved repeated brief bursts of intense
effort, interspersed with recovery periods. Cycling, swimming, running and boxing were included.
These workouts were compared with longer continuous moderate intensity workouts, most of which
were between 30 and 45 minutes. All participants exercised for at least four weeks.
Those doing interval training lost on average 1.58kg (3.48lb) compared with the 1.13kg (2.49lb) lost by
those doing lower intensity workouts.

Sprint interval training seemed to be particularly effective for weight loss, although researchers did
caution that the wide variety of training programs made it difficult to recommend one regime in
particular.
The NHS currently recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity, such as cycling or
brisk walking, every week.
'Results impressive'
Dr Niels Vollaard, a lecturer in health and exercise science at the University of Stirling, said the results
were counterintuitive as most people burned more calories during longer moderate exercise.
"There are two possible explanations," he said.
"Firstly, Hiit may lead to greater energy expenditure after exercise - metabolism may be increased for
up to a day following a Hiit session.
"Secondly, after a Hiit session, you may be less hungry.
"In our research, we have shown that appetite hormones are indeed affected.
"It is, however, not easy to study whether energy intake is reduced as a result of this in the longer term
when following a Hiit routine, so at the moment we are still unsure exactly what the reason is."
