Penn State researchers strapped small weights to the legs of growing guinea fowl. As adults, those birds carried extra load without paying any extra energy cost, while their unloaded peers burned 23% more. What might this mean for human kids?
A 12-week Texas A&M trial in adults aged 45 to 65 found that daily creatine added lean tissue and strength, with or without a structured exercise program.
A University of Bristol study found that aerobic exercise reshapes the stellate ganglia — the nerve clusters that help control heart rate — very differently on the left and right sides of the body, challenging the idea that exercise affects the nervous system symmetrically.
New research shows that high levels of antihistamine drugs can reduce fitness gains For some, the word “histamine” might evoke thoughts of seasonal allergies: runny noses, scratchy throats and itchy eyes. But the molecule also influences exercise performance. A new... Continue Reading →
A research team co-led by a physician-scientist at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson’s Sarver Heart Center found that a subset of artificial heart patients can regenerate heart muscle, which may open the door to new ways to treat and... Continue Reading →

People who include a little yoga or tai chi in their day may be more likely to remember where they put their keys. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and Japan's University of Tsukuba found that even very light... Continue Reading →
New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has revealed that training one arm can improve strength and decrease muscle loss in the other arm -- without even moving it. The findings could help to address the muscle wastage and loss... Continue Reading →
How quickly do we experience the benefits of exercise? A new University of Maryland study of healthy older adults shows that just one session of exercise increased activation in the brain circuits associated with memory - including the hippocampus -... Continue Reading →
