Really pleased with the number of submissions from all over the world that we have already received for 𝗻𝗽𝗷 𝗘𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵. It would be great to paint this map entirely green next year! After all, exercise should be a medicine for everyone!

With the increasing use of medications, we need more research like this academic.oup.com/jcem/advance... that investigates the influence of medications (such as Metformin) on adaptations to exercise.

Really chuffed to receive this momento of my time on the board of @VicInstSport
A great organisation to be part of, and exciting times ahead.

Cool little study: www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/... highlighting that regular exercise reduces the resting heart rate over the long term, likely offsetting a transient increase in exertional heart rate.

A massive team effort to produce this joint ESSA & ACSM expert statement on “Physical Activity and Exercise Intensity Terminology”, which has been published in both JSaMS www.jsams.org/article/S144... & journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fu...

More evidence that lactate is not just a metabolic intermediate, but also has an important role in exercise-induced signaling www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Congratulations to Assoc. Prof. Alessandra Ferri, who was awarded the Institute for Health & Sport (IHES) Senior Researcher of the year for her @nhmrc & @MND_RIA funded work on the role of exercise to improve quality of life in those with MND.

Our latest work in @natureComms, led by @javi_iup: Sprint exercise disrupts mitochondrial ultrastructure, driving a unique mitochondrial stress response & remodelling in men www.nature.com/articles/s41... supports targeted exercise prescriptions to achieve specific mitochondrial adaptations.

Excellent piece on the work of @JamesRBroatch alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... & bmjopen.bmj.com/content/13/5... to develop targeted exercises for brain health

Our latest work: "Sprint interval exercise disrupts mitochondrial ultrastructure, driving a unique mitochondrial stress response and remodelling in men" has been accepted in Nature Communications and will soon be online 😊

Higher levels of midlife and late-life physical activity were associated with similar reductions in risk of all-cause and Alzheimer's Disease dementia jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Great to have @GGouspillou present his group's excellent work on mitochondria & ageing pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39933528/ at our research Team meeting

Some excellent presentations today at the Victoria Muscle Network meeting.

Later exercise timing & higher exercise strain was associated with delayed sleep onset, shorter sleep duration, lower sleep quality, higher nocturnal resting heart rate, & lower nocturnal heart rate variability. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very excited to launch our first Special Collection: Physical Activity and Mental Health: From Mechanisms to Global Implementation&https://www.nature.com/collections/abiffchhca

Interesting new study www.nature.com/articles/s44... reports that females achieved a CHD risk reduction of 30% with much less moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than males.

Interesting new study comparing the effects of 3 exercise intensities on adipose tissue transcriptome physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/...
It would be cool to see a similar analysis of skeletal muscle.

New study www.cell.com/current-biol... indicates it is rare for metabolic rate to exceed 2.5 times BMR when averaged over periods of training and competition lasting 28 weeks or longer (but extremely high-calorie burn is possible for short bursts).

New study www.cell.com/iscience/ful... aims to identify reliable biomarkers that reflect training load and are suitable for personalising high-intensity exercise.

Just revisiting some old work with @KerryMcGawley that showed VO2 directly measured during repeated sprints was not significantly different from VO2max on sprint 5 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
