How is running good for our brains? An article published in Biomolecules MDPI analyses the neurological benefits of running. The review, cited in National Geographic, explores the current literature on the effect of running, and how the endorphins released play a role in neurogenesis – the development of new brain cells. They provide a review of the potential mechanisms involved in this process, including how beta-endorphins released interact with specific areas of the brain such as the hippocampus.

The long-term effects of prolonged participation in endurance sports suggests it is a powerful, brain-enhancing tool. Indeed, research suggests that increases in cerebral blood flow, the expression of a number of trophic factors, and the induction of pro-inflammatory processes promote neurogenesis, angiogenesis, and synaptogenesis. All that to say, chronic exercise yields more brain cells, the growth of new blood vessels, and an increase in connections between neurons in your brain. We want all of those things. It’s clear: the chemical changes brought about by aerobic movement profoundly impact psychological enhancements. So get out there and endure. #wellness

I'm excited to share that an article I edited titled "Effects of diverse resistance training modalities on performance measures in athletes: A network Meta-analysis" has been published in Frontiers in Physiology's Exercise Physiology section. This systematic review was authored by Zhipeng Zhu, Dong Li, and Longpeng Li. The study evaluates the effects of various resistance training methods on athlete performance measures. To read the full article, click on the link below. Congratulations to the authors on their publication!

🚴♂️ Can brain stimulation enhance athletic performance? 💡 This study, uses our #Starstim to explore this intriguing possibility, revealing significant impacts on #cycling performance using transcranial direct current stimulation (#tDCS). 🧠🔬 In this #research, trained cyclists underwent maximal incremental exercises and a 15km time trial, with our Starstim device providing anodal tDCS. The study involved 12 male athletes and tested the effects of a 20-minute, 2mA stimulation from T3 to Fp2. This resulted in improved performance in time trials, showcasing the potential of tDCS in enhancing athletic endurance and efficiency without altering physiological markers like heart rate or perceived exertion. 🔗 Curious about the full details? Dive into the complete study here: https://lnkd.in/dJeY3R8F 🎉 Congratulations to the researchers Borja Muñiz Pardos, Jorge Subías Perié, Elisabetta Geda, Luigi Molino, Jose A. Casajus, and Yannis Pitsiladis for their innovative work. We're thrilled to see Starstim facilitating groundbreaking research in #sports science and athletic performance! #Medtech #Electroceuticals #Technology #Healthtech #Healthcare #Science #Innovation #Study #ResearchArticle #Neuroscience #Neurotechnology #BrainStimulation #tACS #tES Universidad de Zaragoza, GENUD Research Group, Hong Kong Baptist University, International Federation of Sports Medicine - FIMS

7th February 2024 9am-5pm GMT James Moore The human body is a highly complex system, and when it comes to movement that is no exception. This complexity is compounded during movement which requires the careful and precise coordination of a variety of different tissues that interact with joints, all of which is regulated by the nervous system. We regularly observe movement and make assessments based on those observations, however, we are not always able to answer a fundamental question: why do we move in certain ways? This course will begin to explore the laws of physics around movement, and how different tissues help to regulate that movement. It will go on to explore the immediate response of all tissues (muscles, ligaments, tendons, bone, fascia and joints) to a stressful stimulus, and whether that adaptation will be a positive one or a negative. Rather than focusing on which exercise to do for an injury or problem, the course will improve the candidates ability to understand and make decisions on what change (adaptation) they are trying to get in the subject / patient, and therefore what are all the options available to get that response. The course will introduce all major regions in the body from shoulder, to spinal, to hip & pelvis, knee, and finally ankle-foot. At each region we will explore function in a healthy state and what happens in a pathological state. At each region it will cover a specific principle and look at the best ways to get a positive adaptation at that region. However, every principle explored can be transferred to all the regions and preliminary examples of that will be discussed. The participants, will leave with an understanding of the underlying principles of movement and how physics and neurophysiology can interact; they will have an understanding of when applying an exercise stimulus how to enhance the desired adaptation at that tissue or region; finally, they will leave with key principles that can be applied to all the regions explored. This is a new introductory course which will be further explored in the two-day 'attend' course which will be launched later. The course will integrate the theoretical science and research based evidence into bite sized practical application for movement and exercise prescription. It will also draw upon our experiences of working with elite athletes through The English Institute of Sport, UK Athletics, England Rugby, Saracens Rugby, British Triathlon, National teams, The British Olympic Association at various Olympic Games and through the Intensive Rehabilitation Unit for Team GB. Our aim is to provide a platform for effective critical thinking and piece together a framework for good decision making on the application of exercise and load when treating the whole body. We hope you enjoy Developing Athletic Movement - Loading strategies for tissue and movement to enhance adaptation. https://https://lnkd.in/eD5JAtkp

One lesson that allowed me to finish a marathon: To run fast, we need to practice running slow 🐢 Why is this a game changer? People don't start exercising because they think: - they won't be good at it - it takes a lot of effort - it's hard Someone might be more likely to engage in exercise & rehab if they can: - go slow - at their own pace - do it without judgement I hated running. But after learning that running slowly can help me get better... I was free to try. Because I tried, I triumphed. ___ Because of this, I now emphasise this with my patients: it's not about being good at exercise. it's not about doing it well. it's about trying. If we try, we can get better. #capacitybuilding #physiotherapy #ndis
