If your fitness goal is to up the ante on endurance, pack more power into your sprint, or supercharge your strength gains in the gym, it’s worth exploring – what are the different muscle fiber types?

Interestingly, studies in various animal models have shown that time-restricted feeding — a natural non-pharmaceutical intervention — protects against obesity, aging and circadian disruption in ...

A study has shown that traumatic experiences during childhood may get 'under the skin' later in life, impairing the muscle function of people as they age. A University of Michigan study has shown that ...

Cancer patients often lose excessive amounts of weight. This affects up to 80% of patients and is mainly due to a decrease in muscle mass and fatty tissue. This cancer-induced cachexia (CIC) is ...
