A perceived ‘lack of time’ is consistently the most commonly reported barrier to exercise. However, the term fails to capture the multifaceted nature of time-related factors. Recognising the need for ...

Engineers use fluid dynamics simulations to study the effect of exercise at various ages on plaque formation in the arteries. The authors considered two arterial geometries, one with a bulging outer ...

A team of researchers has developed a simple lab-based system for growing human muscle cells that are capable of vigorously contracting. A team of researchers at Tohoku University have developed a ...

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 ...

Plaque formation in the arteries carrying blood to the head and neck is a serious medical problem, potentially leading to strokes and heart attacks. In Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, engineers ...

Objective This study aims to evaluate the time point and magnitude of peak effectiveness of exercise and the effects of various exercise modalities for osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms and to identify ...
