“The study recruited a representative cohort of 81,337 UK participants (average age, 46 years) to take part in a citizen science project known as the Great British Intelligence Test, a widely promoted free opportunity for people to identify their cognitive strengths.”

“Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) can emerge after strenuous exercise and leave muscles sore and weaker for days. A new meta-analysis asked whether targeted light-based therapy could reduce that soreness or preserve muscle strength during recovery.”

“Coffee's caffeine content makes it the most effective natural performance enhancer available. Consuming caffeine at doses of 3–6 mg per kilogram of body weight significantly improves: endurance performance by 3–5%. strength output by 2–4%.”

“PNF stretching is used primarily in physical therapy for flexibility and rehabilitation. A 2014 review found that stretching's effects vary by context. Dynamic stretching before exercise tends to improve strength, power, speed, and agility, enhancing sprint and agility test outcomes.”

“But foods with the same protein amount do not always trigger the same muscle-building effect. A new study from the University of Illinois tested whether the amount of fat in pork affects how the body uses the food's protein to rebuild muscle after strength training.”

“If confirmed in clinical trials, creatine could become a simple and inexpensive way to support immunotherapy strategies for cancer treatment. In episode #100, Dr. Darren Candow breaks down the optimal creatine protocol for supporting strength, brain health, and longevity.”

“Next, they tested whether parenting style affected the strength of that link. Parenting style was based on how adolescents described their parents' behavior. The substances assessed were alcohol use, binge drinking, cigarette smoking, vaping, and cannabis use.”

“Sports that combine endurance and strength may offer broader health benefits, such as better heart health, stronger muscles, and improved metabolism. In contrast, sports with high injury risk or extreme physical demands may place long-term stress on the body.”

“Davidson reported that five minutes of daily Healthy Minds Program practice for 28 days produced a significant decrease in interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, measured three months after the formal intervention ended and compared with an untreated control group.”

“Age-related decline in muscle strength and function is accompanied by changes in how genes are controlled (epigenetic changes), yet it is unclear whether starting exercise late in life can meaningfully shift this trajectory.”
