A series of recent studies has pinpointed the specific molecules and biological pathways through which physical activity protects the brain from aging, disease, and toxic protein buildup. Researchers ...

Pushing your workout training limits might do more than build muscle. Researchers at Edith Cowan University suggest that ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba identified a previously unconfirmed gas exchange threshold in rats and demonstrated that this threshold, together with the lactate threshold, serves as an ...

Science has confirmed that exercise is good for the brain. It increases blood flow, inhibits stress hormones, and stimulates the release of “feel-good” endorphins. One way exercise is thought to yield ...

Training harder may do more than build muscle—it could transform your gut. Researchers found that intense workouts change the ...

A solid metric to know, considering its influence on race performance. Many coaches argue that lactate threshold is one of, if not the, biggest performance predictor. It determines how fast you can ...

Here’s what your LT1 and LT2 say about your performance potential and how you should be training ...
