Our new study in @pnas.org shows that adding cognitive demands to endurance walking increased perceived physical effort, but people with stronger cognitive abilities felt the impact less. @laurafenton.bsky.social

Walking is a common form of human locomotion, but we rarely realize its connection to the brain unless it is disrupted. My research examines markers of walking and their associations with brain health. Check out our recent publication and write-up acsm.org/active-voice...
Active Voice | Walking Pace, Genetic Predisposition, and Brain Health
Your brain is the conductor of your life. It controls movement, stores memories, makes decisions, and forms your identity. This is why declines in brain health, such as during the development of demen...

The metabolic cost of producing joint moments is greater at the hip than the ankle
Older adults walk using their hips relatively more and their ankles relatively less than young adults. This “distal-to-proximal redistribution” in leg joint mechanics is thought to drive the age-relat...
