Indoor court-based team sports are tough. They demand a lot from athletes. Unlike outdoor sports, these indoor games have smaller fields, harder surfaces, and more frequent matches. This makes the fatigue response different. It's important to study this separately. Researchers dug through l
Pompe disease is a tough one. It's a rare condition that kids inherit, and it messes with the body's ability to break down sugar. This leads to a lot of muscle problems. Researchers wanted to find out how this disease affects kids' daily lives and how tired they feel. They did this by asking the kid
Did you know that exercise might help people with cancer walk further and feel less tired? This is what a group of researchers wanted to find out. They looked back at a program that combined physical exercise with education. The program's main goal was to enhance the walking ability and energy of ca
First, picture this: athletes and workers regularly push through multiple exercise sessions in a single day or back-to-back days. These your grouped interval training or a steady pedal session could, potentially, blur the lines of performance and perception. Remember those intense baffled faces of
Resistance training, or RT, is all about finding the right balance of load and volume. This helps minimize muscle fatigue and maximize gains. In the past, these factors were set in advance, which sometimes led to less than ideal results. Here's where autoregulation comes in. It's a smart way to tail
Cancer survivors often deal with something called cancer-related fatigue. It's one of the most common problems they face. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) might help with this fatigue, but we're not sure exactly how it works. A group of researchers looked back at a study where peop
You might think that once you're done with cancer treatment, life goes back to normal. But for many people who have had oropharyngeal cancer (cancer of the throat), this isn't always the case. A recent study looked into how radiotherapy, especially a method called intensity-modulated radiotherapy (I
Ever noticed how your favorite song can make a tough workout seem easier? It turns out, science agrees with that feeling. A recent study dug into how listening to our preferred music (PM) during exercise impacts adult recreational athletes. They found that PM can make the workouts more satisfying an
Did you know that getting tired can really mess with how fast you can run and how strong your muscles are? That's what scientists found out when they studied young rugby players. They divided the boys into two groups: one group was around 12 years old, and the other was around 15 years old. The kids
Months of our lives are filled with steady brain activities. Call these Sustained Cognitive Activities (SCAs). They can tire us out mentally and affect how we move physically. A recent study found that long SCAs can make older people’s walking worse when they also think about something else, but is
