Resistance training improves insulin sensitivity more effectively than endurance exercise in diabetes models.

A team of researchers at Tohoku University have developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle cells that are capable of vigorously contracting. The team used the model, which was ...

Researchers have created a mathematical model -- and an accompanying online weight simulation tool -- of what happens when people of varying weights, diets and exercise habits try to change their ...

Exercise has been found to reduce stress, increase positive mood, decrease anxiety, and alleviate depression. But you may not know that the emotional well-being associated with exercise is also linked ...

A hormone called irisin, which is secreted into the blood during aerobic exercise, has been found to reduce levels of alpha synuclein, a protein linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD), and halt movement ...

Exercise has shown promise as a nonpharmacological intervention for addiction, with evidence suggesting a potential utility for relapse prevention. In humans, exercise as an intervention is typically ...
