Watch nowExercise affects multiple physiological processes regulated by hormones, including stress responses and energy balance. Yet scientists still do not fully understand how some hormone precursors travel through the bloodstream during these demanding moments. A new study explored how vigorous exercise changes the way a major hormone precursor, called proopiomelanocortin (POMC), travels through the bloodstream and helps it reach sensitive tissues like the brain. The study involved 15 healthy, endurance-trained adults who completed a 50-minute treadmill run at high intensity. The researchers focuse... blood-brain barrier brain exercise hormones

Watch nowCancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide, claiming the lives of nearly 10 million people yearly. A recent study found that people who exercise regularly are nearly half as likely to die of cancer than those who are inactive. Researchers assessed the physical activity of more than 28,000 people diagnosed with stage 1 cancer in the year before their diagnosis based on data gathered from fitness devices, gym logs, and organized fitness events. They categorized the participants' activity as none, low (less than 60 minutes weekly), and medium to high (60 minutes or more weekly). Then,... exercise cancer mortality

Watch nowProlonged sitting is a prominent feature of modern life. Unfortunately, it carries considerable health risks, including impaired glucose metabolism and an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. A recent study found that interrupting prolonged sitting periods with short bursts of activity – especially frequent walks or squats – improves blood glucose levels. The study involved 18 men with overweight and obesity who engaged in four different activities on separate days: sitting uninterrupted for 8.5 hours, or sitting interrupted by a single 30-minute walk, ten three-minute walks (every 45 minutes),... exercise diabetes muscle blood sugar
Read moreCognitive function typically declines with aging, but evidence suggests physical activity can help mitigate some of these declines. A recent study in mice found that exercise improves memory and spatial learning by inhibiting neuroinflammation, primarily via the actions of irisin, a myokine, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a growth factor and signaling protein. Researchers conducted a two-part study to investigate the effects of regular, low-intensity exercise on cognitive function in mouse models of inflammation-driven memory impairment and microglia (brain immune cell) degener... exercise brain inflammation memory dementia nrf2

Watch nowFrom the article: > The study recruited 125 amateur cyclists aged 55 to 79, 84 of which were male and 41 were female. The men had to be able to cycle 100 km in under 6.5 hours, while the women had to be able to cycle 60 km in 5.5 hours. [...] > The cyclists also did not increase their body fat or cholesterol levels with age and the men's testosterone levels also remained high, suggesting that they may have avoided most of the male menopause. > More surprisingly, the study also revealed that the benefits of exercise extend beyond muscle as the cyclists also had an immune system that d... exercise aging cholesterol blood pressure aerobic thymus thymic involution
