A 12-week RCT compares HIIT and combined endurance-strength training on oxidative stress, inflammation, and cardiometabolic risk in obese postmenopausal women.
A systematic review of RCTs reveals how resistance training reshapes cytokines, growth factors, and emerging exerkines to combat age-related muscle loss.
Pregnant women in a supervised hybrid exercise program had zero cases of macrosomia vs. 7.3% in usual care controls.
A completed 120-person trial examines whether normobaric hypoxia amplifies the bone and cardiovascular benefits of resistance training in older adults.
A completed pilot trial tested 24 sessions of virtual mobility and cognitive training in community-dwelling older adults, targeting falls and mental decline.
A completed RCT tests how water-based exercise at varying intensities affects blood pressure, sleep, mood, and function in elderly participants.
New research finds no meaningful difference in fuel use across follicular, ovulatory, and luteal phases during aerobic exercise.
Go beyond the basics and explore the molecular machinery behind heat shock proteins — how hormetic stress triggers cascades that strengthen cells, slow aging, and enhance performance.
A polygenic score explains ~5% of grip strength variance, but physical activity benefits are greatest for those with low genetic predisposition.
New Army research finds women maintain lean mass more effectively than men under extreme energy deficit during Ranger training.
A prospective study of 807 military recruits finds active respiratory infection dramatically raises the odds of severe exertional heat illness.
10 weeks of resistance exercise reduced visceral fat and improved fasting blood sugar in female rats — without changing body weight.
