Our military personnel are valued for the sacrifices they make for their country. Whether they are deployed on the ground, in the air, at sea, or simply sitting behind the computer at a command centre, those personnel are serving their country diligently. Yet, did you ever think about how it might be like to be… Read More
Research Paper Title Effect of stable and unstable load carriage on walking gait variability, dynamic stability and muscle activity of older adults. Background Load carriage perturbs the neuromuscular system, which can be impaired due to ageing. The ability to counteract perturbations is an indicator of neuromuscular function but if the response is insufficient the risk… Read More
“Complex exercise like racket sports that involve tactics gives you a bigger cognitive boost than simpler workouts like jogging.” (New Scientist, 2019, p.21). Reference New Scientist. (2019) Working Hypothesis. New Scientist. 14 September 2019, pp.21.
Walking and running have fundamentally different biomechanics, which makes developing devices that assist both gaits challenging. Kim and colleagues show that a portable exosuit that assists hip extension can reduce the metabolic rate of treadmill walking at 1.5 meters per second by 9.3% and that of running at 2.5 meters per second by 4.0% compared… Read More
Research Paper Title Aerobic Exercise Improves Food Reward Systems in Obese Rats via Insulin Signaling Regulation of Dopamine Levels in the Nucleus Accumbens. Background The dopaminergic pathway, comprising projections from the ventral tegmental area to the nucleus accumbens, constitutes the core of the brain reward system. Insufficient food reward caused by dopamine signaling dysfunction in… Read More
In the boot camp world, there is no such thing as “accidentally sleeping in”. You will need to get up at the same time every day – around 5am, so that there is plenty of morning for you to make the most of it. For people who do not have the best relationship with sleep… Read More
It takes time for the person to re-hydrate. For athletes who exercise every day, fluid intake after exercise is crucial. You can use the best exercise equipment which you can find on WalkJogRun, but you will still need to hydrate just the same as when you are, for example, running. Water is a basic constituent… Read More
