A 201-person RCT finds light weights to failure build more muscle than heavy loads, while tendon adaptations look nearly identical.
A completed 105-person trial tests whether protein supplementation amplifies exercise and caloric restriction benefits in elderly sarcopenic obesity.
A completed UK trial tested whether a short HIIT program could rapidly improve cardiorespiratory fitness in older adults before elective surgery.
Huberman breaks down the neuroscience of flexibility and delivers specific, research-supported stretching protocols for performance and longevity.
A conceptual paper challenges the widespread misuse of 'reps in reserve' as a proxy for training intensity — with real implications for program design.
A pilot RCT tests whether 3g daily citrulline malate improves mobility, strength, and biomarkers in women over 65 doing multicomponent training.
A crossover trial compares how cycling, pump, and HIIT-style classes acutely affect vascular and autonomic health across age groups.
Dr Margie Davenport debunks outdated pregnancy exercise myths and shares data on how staying active slashes risk of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and postpartum depression.
A Canadian pilot trial tests whether PT-guided fitness instructor classes improve daily function and balance in stroke survivors over 12 weeks.
A completed RCT tested whether virtual reality could get seniors exercising more — and improve balance, gait, and independence.
A graduate-level deep dive into the precise molecular mechanisms by which mechanical forces reshape the epigenome, govern tissue homeostasis, and offer actionable therapeutic targets for extending healthspan.
Go beyond the basics and explore the specific proteins, pathways, and signaling cascades that translate physical force into cellular longevity — and what this means for how you train.
