A new has study explored the body's early response to strength training, focusing specifically on changes in fat tissue before any weight loss could influence the findings. The research adds to nearly two decades of work examining how physical activity influences metabolic health.
Losing muscle and gaining body fat as we get older is pretty common, but it may have consequences that go beyond strength and mobility. In a new study, researchers looked at the connection between muscle loss, excess body fat, and dementia risk and found some interesting differences. They brought together findings from multiple studies to get a better sense of how these factors may be related.
Feeling well-rested is one simple way to gauge sleep quality. Physical activity can influence sleep, but researchers are still learning how beginning, maintaining, or giving up regular activity may change how restful sleep feels.
If you're trying to improve your health by walking more, you may not need to focus only on reaching a certain number of steps. A new study suggests that how quickly you walk may matter just as much. Researchers found that both walking more and picking up the pace were linked to a lower risk of death, including death from cardiovascular disease.
The simple choice between an elevator and a staircase could have implications for long-term health. A new review and meta-analysis found that regularly climbing stairs was linked to improved cardiovascular health and a lower risk of dying prematurely.
As we age, it becomes harder to lose body fat without also losing valuable muscle. A new study suggests one type of exercise may offer the best of both worlds. Researchers found that while all forms of exercise helped healthy older adults reduce body fat, only high-intensity interval training (HIIT) preserved lean muscle mass.
A slower walking pace is a common part of aging, but the reason may be more complex than previously thought. New findings suggest that older adults unconsciously prioritize staying upright and stable, even if it requires more effort and energy. Although this shift may help maintain balance, researchers found that it can also lead to slower walking speeds, greater fatigue, and a heightened susceptibility to falls.
Many of us spend hours sitting each day without giving it much thought. But research suggests that long, uninterrupted periods of sitting may do more than slow your metabolism. They could also increase your risk of dying from cancer. Now, a new study suggests it's not just how much you sit that matters, but how often you get up and move.
Could the speed of your daily walk reveal how well your brain is aging? According to new research, the answer may be yes. Scientists found that senior adults who naturally walked at a brisker pace showed bettermemory, thinking skills, and healthier brain characteristics than slower walkers, suggesting that something as simple as walking faster could help support long-term brain health.
Healthy aging isn't just about living longer, it’s about staying strong enough to enjoy those extra years. New research shows that getting enough protein and combining it with resistance exercise is one of the most effective ways to preserve muscle, maintain mobility, and reduce the physical decline that often comes with aging.
Our daily routines and body rhythms tend to shift with age. Although chronological age is fixed by time, biological age reflects how well the body is functioning. A new study suggests that aging may affect circadian rest-activity rhythms, the body’s natural daily cycle that helps regulate wakefulness, activity, rest, and sleep.
Exercise may be one of the most powerful anti-aging tools we have. New research suggests it can switch aging muscles back into repair mode, helping them recover, rebuild, and stay stronger as we grow older.
