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.
12 sessions of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy significantly improved leg strength, mobility, and mood in older adults with sarcopenia.
A newly identified chaperone protein drops in aging muscle, triggering weakness before atrophy — and impairing sleep and bone density.
New research reveals that oxygen uptake during walk-run transitions integrates the distinct energetic signatures of both gaits.
Classifying endurance runners by their kinematics dramatically strengthens how muscle-tendon function predicts running economy and race performance.
