Physical exercise is often promoted as a form of support following cancer treatment, but its impact on recurrence has been difficult to demonstrate. This phase 3 randomized trial provides a level of evidence rarely achieved in this field by testing a structured 3-year program following adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer.

Combined training is often blamed for hindering gains from strength training. This study goes beyond simply measuring performance by directly examining protein synthesis, satellite cells, and muscle fiber hypertrophy.

Le volume et la fréquence sont souvent présentés comme des leviers simples de progression. Toutefois, ils ne produiraient pas les mêmes effets selon que l’objectif soit la force ou l’hypertrophie, et selon que toutes les séries soient directes ou indirectes…

L’activité physique et le sommeil sont souvent présentés comme deux piliers séparés de la santé cardiovasculaire. Cette étude invite à les lire ensemble, non pas pour chercher lequel compense l’autre, mais pour comprendre comment ils structurent le risque au quotidien.

Deloads are often used in strength training to prevent a drop in performance or aid recovery. But is temporarily reducing volume and frequency enough to preserve adaptations, or is it necessary to maintain the program’s full continuity?

Cancer development may also depend on the physical environment of the cells. In certain tissues, mechanical forces may inhibit tumor proliferation. Understanding these interactions opens up a new perspective at the interface between biology and mechanics.

Long regarded merely as a fat reserve, adipose tissue is now recognized as a dynamic, complex, and endocrine organ that plays a central role in regulating energy metabolism and numerous physiological functions.

Cancer is not just a matter of treatment and early diagnosis. A significant proportion of its global burden is linked to factors that can be influenced. Understanding their real impact allows us to rethink prevention at the population level.
