by NYU Langone Health Credit: CC0 Public Domain Adding an extra hour every week of physical activity may lower the chance of developing the most common type of irregular heartbeat (arrythmia) by 11%, a new study shows. Led by researchers at NYU Langone Health, the investigation focused on atrial fibrillation, a condition in which the heart’s upper...

Bursts of exercise boost cognitive function, neuroscientists find
Meta-analysis of the effect of acute exercise on general cognitive task performance. Credit: Communications Psychology (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s44271-024-00124-2 Decades of exercise research data support the common view that steady workouts over the long haul produce not only physical benefits but also improved brain function. But what about single bursts of exercise? A team of scientists at UC...

DIET AND EXERCISE REVERSE LIVER DAMAGE
New research suggests intensive lifestyle interventions are an effective way of treating and improving liver disease. In the study of 24 patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a common liver disease caused by excessive fat buildup, one group followed a restricted diet and a high intensity interval training exercise program for 10 months. They dramatically...

The benefits of exercise in a pill? Science is closer to that goal
BAYLOR COLLEGE OF MEDICINE Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Stanford School of Medicine and collaborating institutions report today in the journal Nature that they have identified a molecule in the blood that is produced during exercise and can effectively reduce food intake and obesity in mice. The findings improve our understanding of the physiological processes that...

5-minute breathing workout matches vascular benefits of exercise
By Nick Lavars July 01, 2021 Study author Tom Heinbockel demonstrates an IMST deviceCasey A. Cass/University of Colorado Strength training is a well-established way to boost the capabilities of the body’s many muscle groups, and the same may well be true of those that facilitate breathing. A new study has provided the strongest evidence yet...

Histamine-suppressing drugs found to reduce benefits of exercise
by Bob Yirka , Medical Xpress In an interventional RCT, the role of histamine H1/H2 receptor signaling for exercise training adaptations was investigated. By chronic blockade of histamine H1/H2 receptors in humans, we show that integrative adaptations related to insulin sensitivity, vascular function and aerobic capacity are dependent on histamine signaling.
