Brain Health : Neuroprotective Role of Resistance Training
Weight training not only protects the musculoskeletal system, it also has a direct effect on the mechanisms of brain aging. By reducing inflammation, improving cerebral blood flow, and enhancing neuroplasticity, it could be a major lever in preventing cognitive decline.
Effect of velocity-based training on performance
What if the bar velocity was the key to more effective training? Velocity-Based Training allows you to adjust loads in real time according to how you feel on the day. But does this method really improve performance?
Caffeine and neuromuscular performance in powerlifting: a real advantage?
Caffeine is the most widely used ergogenic substance in sport. As a central nervous system stimulant, it improves alertness, pain tolerance, and muscle excitability. But what is its real impact on strength and power, particularly in powerlifting?
Dietary supplements and longevity: what do Chinese centenarians take?
Do centenarians use supplements to live longer? This study of nearly 3,000 Chinese people over the age of 100 reveals some surprising habits and calls into question the real role of supplements in longevity.
Waist circumference, physical activity, and cancer risk
Can regular physical activity compensate for the effects of excessive waist circumference? Or, conversely, can being slim but sedentary protect you from cancer?
Effect of different types of exercise on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women
Menopause accelerates bone loss and increases the risk of osteoporosis. But are all forms of exercise equally effective in protecting bone mineral density? Which physical activities are most effective in maintaining skeletal health?
Zone 2: the “ideal” intensity? Myth or scientific reality
Is Zone 2 really the ideal training intensity for boosting mitochondrial health and burning more fat? Or are its effects overestimated compared to other more intense methods?
Shoulder hypertrophy through lateral raises: dumbbells or cable?
Lateral raises are essential for targeting the middle deltoid, but should you use dumbbells or a pulley to maximize hypertrophy? Do these two variations really induce the same muscle adaptations?
