Objective To determine how distinct combinations of resistance training prescription (RTx) variables (load, sets and frequency) affect muscle strength and hypertrophy. Data sources MEDLINE, Embase, ...

Scientists are reporting the first compelling evidence in people that cognitive training can boost levels of a brain chemical that typically declines with age. A 10-week study of people 65 or older ...

Prediabetes is the precursor to type 2 diabetes and represents a critical, reversible window for intervention. This study aims to systematically review and conduct a network meta-analysis to evaluate ...

The working class, a large majority of the workforce and its most racially and ethnically diverse group, faces low pay and higher unemployment. Many policymakers today claim to speak for the struggles ...

Objective The objective of this study was to compare the effects of novel, time-efficient, low-volume combined aerobic and resistance high-intensity interval training (C-HIIT), and current exercise ...

Our top dumbbells come from BowFlex, Rogue, and NordicTrack. See what other dumbbells we’ve racked up for optimal gains at home. Getting a few integral exercise pieces, like the right dumbbell set, ...

The 1-rep max (1RM) is a great tool for anyone looking to increase their strength in the weight room. It’s both an expression of strength in an exercise movement and an integral way to track progress ...

Whereas regular exercise is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality, mechanisms of exercise-mediated health benefits remain less clear. We used metabolite profiling before ...

Functional capacity is associated with mortality, although the prognostic value of achieved estimated metabolic equivalents (METs) across various exercise protocols is not established. We sought to ...
