In this study the researchers investigated if the insulin-sensitizing effect of physical activity depends on the timing of the activity (Van der Velde J H P M, et.al., 2022). 775 participants were assessed for sedentary time, breaks in sedentary time and different intensities of physical activity using activity sensors, and...

The following research investigated if high intensity interval training could affect colon cancer survival (Devin JL, et.al., 2019). One group of colorectal cancer survivors did 4 minutes of high intensity cycling at a peak heart rate of 85-95% repeated 4 times with 3 minutes of active recovery between each session....

The researchers of this study investigated how a minimum of 150 to 300 minutes per week of moderate physical activity, and 75 to 150 minutes per week of vigorous physical activity affected longevity (Lee DH, et.al., 2022).116221 adults were followed for 30 years, and the results showed that the minimum...

  In this study the researchers compared the energy expenditure of 1 set of resistance training with 3 sets of the same training (Heden T, et al. 2011). The participants who were overweight young adults performed 10 exercises with 10 maximum repetitions. The resting energy expenditure and respiratory exchange ratio...

  High-intensity exercise can produce muscle damage. The resulting breakdown of muscle fibers and the triggered inflammatory responses could also affect exercise performance. The researchers of the following study evaluated the effectiveness of curcumin supplementation on exercise induced muscle damage and inflammatory and oxidative markers in physically active individuals (Fernández-Lázaro...

  The participants of this study were 32 adult males with an average age of 58 years (Mancilla R, et al., 2021). They had either been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or were at risk for it. These men performed 12 weeks of supervised exercise training either in the morning...

  We know that physical activity helps to transfer blood glucose into the cells, but you may be surprised what a difference it can make. The following research investigated that more in detail (Burns AM, et al., 2021).   The participants were 10 healthy 24-year-old men. Forearm glucose uptake was...

  Exercise produces many health benefits, but can it help us live longer, and if it can how many years can we gain? 654,827 individuals were included in this research (Steven SC, et al., 2012).   The study had a median follow up time of 10 years. A physical activity...
