A series of recent studies has pinpointed the specific molecules and biological pathways through which physical activity protects the brain from aging, disease, and toxic protein buildup. Researchers ...

When it comes to exercise and lactic acid, there are a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people blame lactic acid for delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)—the soreness you feel a couple of days ...

Science has confirmed that exercise is good for the brain. It increases blood flow, inhibits stress hormones, and stimulates the release of “feel-good” endorphins. One way exercise is thought to yield ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba identified a previously unconfirmed gas exchange threshold in rats and demonstrated that this threshold, together with the lactate threshold, serves as an ...

For some, there’s nothing like a vigorous workout to prepare yourself for a hearty meal. But in fact, the contrary may actually be true: Exercise can stifle hunger. New research points to the science ...

University of Birmingham researchers receive £1.9m BBSRC funding to find ‘goldilocks’ level of exercise and improve guidance for older people ...

A solid metric to know, considering its influence on race performance. Many coaches argue that lactate threshold is one of, if not the, biggest performance predictor. It determines how fast you can ...
