Effects of Exercise Training on Mitochondrial & Capillary Growth in Skeletal Muscle

Larger Training Volumes (⬆️training frequency/week +⬆️training weeks) & Higher Training Intensities👉greater increases in mitochondrial content & VO2max

🚨 MYTH: Scoliosis = back pain.

✅ FACT: The connection isn’t as clear as you think! Some people with scoliosis have pain, but many don’t—and treatments? Well, the research is... underwhelming.

Maternal Diet Influences ADHD and Autism Risk

A large study analyzing over 60,000 mother-child pairs found that a Western diet during pregnancy—high in fat, sugar, and processed foods—is linked to an increased risk of ADHD and autism in children.

Even small shifts toward a Western diet were associated with a 66% higher risk of ADHD and a 122% higher risk of autism.

The strongest associations were observed in the first and second trimesters, suggesting that early fetal brain development is particularly sensitive to maternal nutrition.

Researchers identified 43 specific blood metabolites that may explain the link between diet and neurodevelopmental disorders.

While genetics play a significant role, these findings highlight the potential for dietary improvements to reduce neurodevelopmental risks.

Addressing maternal nutrition could be a key factor in improving long-term child health outcomes.

Resistance training: the most potent tool for muscle growth.

But do men and women benefit equally?

Our new meta-analysis led by @MartinRefalo found:

➡️ Men saw slightly greater absolute muscle growth
➡️ Relative gains were nearly identical between sexes
➡️ Type I muscle fibre growth slightly favored men, but Type II growth was the same

Women can build muscle just as effectively as men.
