DHA supplementation enhances exercise recovery after muscle damage 🐟

This new study recruited 38 participants to a 12-week study where they supplemented with either…

1️⃣ DHA (715 mg/day)
2️⃣ Placebo

Omega-3 index (O3I), muscle soreness, physical function and inflammation were assessed pre- and post-study 🔍

Results 📊

🩸 DHA significantly improves O3I vs placebo

💥 Muscle soreness was significantly lower at 24-h and 48-h post-exercise in the DHA group

📈 Jump height and peak vertical force improved at 48-h post-exercise in the DHA group

A reasonably small daily dose of DHA can significantly improve omega-3 index and post-exercise recovery ✅

Small daily habits add up to have significant benefits.

Here, engaging in vigorous‐intensity physical activity only was associated with lower mortality risk than moderate‐intensity physical activity only, whereas a balanced combination of both intensities was associated with the greatest survival advantage.

🚨 Dormir solo 55 minutos más esta noche puede cambiar cómo rindes mañana.

Un estudio encontró que añadir solo +55 min de sueño durante una noche consiguió:

⚡ +10% de rendimiento en sprints.
🧠 −15% de tiempo de reacción.
💥 Menor fatiga.
🎯 Mejor atención y concentración.

Y lo más interesante:

📈 Los mayores beneficios aparecieron a primera hora de la mañana, cuando normalmente rendimos peor.

Dormir más no solo sirve para recuperarte.
También puede hacerte rendir mejor mañana.

Is carbohydrate loading just placebo? 🧐

This new review examined findings from 14 carb loading studies to establish if it actually improves performance, outwith the placebo effect 🔍

Here are the key findings ⬇️

📚 Of 14 eligible carb loading studies, only 2 used double-blind, placebo-controlled designs

🥤 Only 4 of the 14 studies provided carbohydrate during the exercise test, limiting real-world relevance

⚠️ The 2 double-blind studies that did include appropriate in-exercise carbohydrate found no performance benefit from carb loading

🔍 Many older studies tested carb loading without pre- or during-exercise carbohydrate, which does not reflect current endurance fuelling practice

🧠 The positive effects seen in some unblinded studies may partly reflect belief, expectation, or placebo effects rather than carbohydrate loading alone

💭 The effect sizes from the unblinded studies with in-exercise carbohydrate were similar to reported placebo effects for nutritional interventions

The authors did not argue that glycogen is unimportant, they argued that the evidence for extra benefit from above-normal carbohydrate loading needs stronger testing ✅

Overall, current evidence is inconclusive on whether 24–48 h carbohydrate loading adds performance benefit when placebo effects are controlled and in-race fuelling is optimised 🔍

Even if effects are down to placebo, this shouldn’t be discounted in applied settings.

If there is a mechanism there to support employment of carb loading (“glycogen stores”), then placebo isn’t bad if it improves performance ⚙️

Or maybe I just like eating lots of pasta 🫣

This one finds that heat acclimation can substantially reduce cardiovascular strain during exertion in the heat in both women and men.

[Chris Beardsley @SandCResearch]

This important study showed that creatine supplementation can reduce post-workout fatigue by reducing the supraspinal CNS fatigue caused by inflammatory mediators produced in response to the presence of muscle damage. This would allow damaged muscle to be more readily activated during maximal efforts in subsequent workouts.

[Daniel Berglind, PhD @DanielBerglind]

A new meta-analysis (31 RCTs; n=1,214) found small improvements in contralateral strength, but no increase in muscle thickness—supporting a predominantly neural, not hypertrophic, mechanism.
Evidence certainty remains low.

A new study compared  a heavy-load (H) protocol with a combined heavy + light load (H+L) protocol on measures of strength and hypertrophy (PMID: 42323749). The heavy load group performed 3 sets of maximal isokinetic knee extension contractions on a dynamometer and 3 sets of 1 repetition at 90% 1-RM on the leg press. The H+L group performed the same heavy load protocol but also performed an additional 3 sets of leg presses for as many reps as possible at 45% of 1-RM
until reaching 2 RIR. Results showed: .:

--The two training protocols produced similar gains in isometric and dynamic strength.

--The H+L protocol led to substantially greater increases in vastus lateralis muscle size (21% vs 4%) despite no additional strength gains. It's not clear whether the greater hypertrophy was due simply to a higher set volume or two distinct mechanistic drivers (e.g., differential anabolic pathways, fiber type specific stimulation, etc) or perhaps a combination of both.

Take-home: Bigger muscles don't necessarily explain why people get stronger during the initial stages of resistance training. Combining heavy and light load training may help to optimize the combination of strength and muscle size.

A strong core isn’t built by endless crunches—it’s built by integrating the whole body.
This meta-analysis found that combined core training outperformed isolated core work for balance, jumping, and throwing/hitting performance.
