“Infrared saunas are gaining in popularity among athletes as a recovery tool, but their effects on strength training adaptations remain uncertain. While traditional saunas can impair performance, infrared saunas may offer a more effective and comfortable recovery option.”

“They found that among resistance training participants, HbA1c decreased by approximately 12 percent, muscle glycogen increased by 31 percent, and muscle strength increased by 33 percent.”

“Age-related skeletal muscle mass and strength is a leading cause of the functional decline and loss of independence in older adults. Resistance training exercise is a highly effective strategy for maintaining or building muscle mass.”

“A new study found that regular cycling may slow sarcopenia – the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Men who cycled regularly had larger, leaner gluteus muscles than inactive men.”

“Researchers reviewed 40 studies (primarily long-term observational research) that tracked seafood consumption during pregnancy and children's developmental outcomes, including behavior, social-emotional skills, and cognitive abilities. They screened each study for quality and assessed the strength of the evidence based on consistency, effect size, and study design.”

“The researchers then monitored changes in muscle soreness, strength, swelling, and levels of creatine kinase, a marker of muscle damage, over the following three days. They also tracked muscle oxygen levels, core temperature, skin temperature, and heart rate.”

“However, newer antibody responses acquired later in life did not provide the same strength of protection as responses imprinted in childhood following the first exposure. The authors of the study postulated that the low mortality rates associated with some influenza subtypes may increase as cohorts of exposed people age.”

“The authors noted that the high dose and length of supplementation were strengths of their study. They concluded that omega-3s should be recommended for cognitively healthy adults to prevent or delay cognitive decline. Link to full report.”

“Researchers tracked their ability to complete the program, adherence to the supplement regimen, changes in brain creatine levels, cognitive function, mitochondrial activity in blood cells, and muscle strength and size.”

“The study included 889 people with stage II or III colon cancer who had completed chemotherapy. Researchers assigned half to a three-year supervised exercise program that included moderate-intensity aerobic activity and strength training.”
