In one study, participants completed an intense workout after a normal night’s sleep and after three nights of reduced sleep. When they exercised after reduced sleep, levels of the heart damage biomarker troponin rose slightly more than when participants exercised after a full night’s sleep. This study, published in the journal Molecular Metabolism, is a […]In one study, participants completed an intense workout after a normal night's sleep and after three nights of reduced sleep.

This Trick for the Brain Makes Exercise Seem Easier
Why are some people out of breath after a short jog, while others seem to glide along effortlessly? Training, fitness level, and muscle strength naturally play a role. Researchers have found that the brain also has a strong influence, especially on how strenuous physical activity is perceived. Sport challenges not only the body, but also […]Why are some people out of breath after a short jog, while others seem to glide along effortlessly?

Timing and Consistency of Activities Lead to Better Fitness
Some people jump out of bed in the early hours of the morning, while others prefer a slower start to the day. Whether you get up with a smile or a groan, scientists say that your internal clock—known as your circadian rhythm—could influence this behavior and much more.

Research Shows Links Between Mood and Circadian Rhythm Disorders in a Study Using Fitbit Data From Hundreds of Medical Students
When it comes to sleep schedules, people often compromise in order to get everything on their to-do list done first. However, this can be the wrong decision. A new study from the University of Michigan shows that when people’s sleep cycles are out of sync with their internal clocks, or circadian rhythms, it can have […]When it comes to sleep schedules, people often compromise in order to get everything on their to-do list done first.

Schizophrenia Increases the Risk of Dementia: The Role of the 12-Hour Rhythm
Schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders are serious illnesses associated with symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions and social withdrawal. Many people also suffer from cognitive and functional impairments. Patients with schizophrenia are known to have disturbances in various types of 24-hour body rhythms, including sleep-wake cycles, hormone levels, and gene activity in the brain’s […]Schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders are serious illnesses associated with symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions and social withdrawal.
