BackgroundExercise has shown promise for supporting executive function in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but findings remain inconsistent, partly because exercise dose has not been examined systematically. This study examined the immediate effects of acute cycling with different combinations of intensity and duration on executive function in children with ASD.MethodsA within-subjec…
ObjectiveThis study compared contact-phase timing, knee–ankle configuration at the lowest center of mass (COM), and ankle-moment characteristics between basketball players with high and low drop landing vertical jump (DLVJ) rebound efficiency.MethodsForty-one highly trained male basketball players were classified as high (n = 21) or low efficiency (n = 20). Participants performed a 30-cm box DLVJ…
Every workout tracker I've tried has the same limitation: it records what you did, but it doesn't tell you what's going wrong. You finish a workout, log your sets, reps, and weight, then the app stores the data and that's about it. If you've stopped progressing, consistently training too close to failure, or need a deload, you're left to figure that out yourself. That's what led me to build WhyRe…
BackgroundExercise is increasingly discussed as part of lifestyle-based and multimodal care for mood and anxiety disorders, but review-level evidence often mixes formally diagnosed clinical populations with symptom-defined or medically mixed samples.MethodsWe conducted an umbrella review of systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and network meta-analyses of structured exercise interventions for adult…
With our attendance at the 20th International Biochemistry of Exercise Conference (IBEC), we’re excited to spotlight the latest in exercise research. From volumetric muscle loss and dystrophic ... The post Exercise Science: A Force of Nature appeared first on Aurora Scientific .
A major review of 217 trials shows that aerobic exercise is the most effective option for managing knee osteoarthritis. Activities like walking, cycling, and swimming outperformed other exercise types in reducing pain and improving movement. While alternatives like strength training and mind-body exercises help, they are best used alongside aerobic workouts. The findings also confirm that exercis…
A sweeping review of global research suggests that exercise—especially aerobic activities like running, swimming, and dancing—can be one of the most powerful ways to ease depression and anxiety. Across tens of thousands of people aged 10 to 90, exercise consistently reduced symptoms, often matching or even outperforming medication and talk therapy.
Which type of exercise is best for optimizing your health:
high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or endurance training?
We are conducting a study to investigate the physiological and molecular effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) vs. endurance training. If you are sedentary and want to begin exercising, we need your help!

The human body uses carbohydrate, fat, and protein in food and from body stores for energy to fuel physical activity. These essential nutrients are needed regardless of the intensity of the activity you are doing. If you are lying down and reading a book or running a marathon, these macronutrients are always needed in the Read more »
