          Treat or Train? Orexin Helps Brain Decide

          Researchers have identified orexin, a brain chemical, as crucial in deciding between exercising and indulging in treats. In experiments with mice, those with an intact orexin system were more inclined to exercise rather than consume a tempting milkshake. This discovery could offer insights into developing strategies for combating obesity and promoting physical activity in humans. Understanding orexin's influence on decision-making between physical activity and food consumption may pave the way for effective interventions targeting sedentary lifestyles.

          Exercise Boosts Motivation to Combat Depression

          A new study suggests that exercise reduces depression by boosting motivation through decreased inflammation and enhanced dopamine function. This understanding could lead to personalized exercise programs as treatment. The review highlights how aerobic exercise combats anhedonia and low energy in depression. Large trials are needed to further test this hypothesis and explore barriers to exercise.

          Nighttime Exercise Breaks May Extend Sleep by 27 Minutes

          A new suggests that three-minute resistance exercise breaks every 30 minutes in the evening can extend sleep duration by an average of 27 minutes. This practice doesn't disrupt sleep quality and could reduce cardiometabolic disease risk. Participants engaged in simple exercises like chair squats and calf raises. Further research is needed to confirm these findings in real-life settings.

          Low-Calorie Diets Harm Athletes’ Performance and Health

          Female athletes consuming only half their caloric needs for 14 days experienced significant drops in performance and muscle mass. This low energy availability also weakened their immune systems. The harmful effects couldn't be reversed by short-term refeeding, highlighting the risks of weight loss practices in sports. The findings emphasize the need for awareness and better support for athletes.

          Evening Exercise Lowers Blood Sugar in Overweight Adults

          Moderate to vigorous physical activity in the evening significantly lowers daily blood sugar levels in sedentary adults with overweight and obesity. Researchers found that this timing is more effective than morning or afternoon exercise for glucose control.

          Intense Exercise May Sabotage Weight Loss Efforts

          Intense exercise can reduce subsequent physical activity and body temperature, potentially leading to weight gain. The research, conducted on mice, suggests this effect is due to disruptions in the circadian rhythm of the stress hormone corticosterone.

          Exercise Aids Memory Erasure in PTSD

          Increased neuron formation in the hippocampus, stimulated by exercise or genetic manipulation, helps mice forget traumatic or drug-associated memories. This process involves rewiring neural circuits, disrupting the recall of fear memories. These findings offer potential new approaches for treating mental health conditions like PTSD and drug addiction.

          Reciprocal Relationship Between Depression and Exercise

          Researchers uncovered a reciprocal relationship between depression and physical activity in adults. The findings reveal that current depression symptoms can deter physical activity years later, although the reverse isn't necessarily true—current inactivity doesn’t predict future depression symptoms.

          Staying Active Mid-Age Boosts Women’s Health Later

          A new study found that maintaining or adopting regular physical activity during middle age can significantly improve women's health-related quality of life later. Analyzing data from over 11,000 participants, the study discovered that women who met WHO physical activity guidelines consistently or began meeting them by age 55 experienced higher physical health scores compared to inactive peers. The findings underscore the long-term benefits of consistent physical activity, particularly in enhancing physical functioning in later life.
