Article Synopsis
- A study aimed at understanding sleep hygiene (SH) among Paralympic athletes revealed that both medalists and nonmedalists have low knowledge about SH, with no significant differences between the two groups.
- The research found that male athletes exhibited worse sleep behaviors and lower knowledge about SH compared to female athletes, indicating a potential area for improvement.
- Importantly, more medalists reported receiving encouragement from coaching staff to practice SH, suggesting that support from coaches may play a role in better sleep habits for top performers.
The Acute and Chronic influence of Exercise on Mitochondrial Dynamics in Skeletal Muscle.
Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab
October 2024
Exercise and nutritional modulation are potent stimuli for eliciting increases in mitochondrial mass and function. Collectively, these beneficial adaptations are increasingly recognized to coincide with improvements to skeletal muscle health. Mitochondrial dynamics of fission and fusion are increasingly implicated as having a central role in mediating aspects of key organelle adaptions that are seen with exercise.

Physical inactivity and sedentary behaviors (SB) have promoted a dramatic increase in the incidence of a host of chronic disorders over the last century. The breaking up of sitting time (, sitting to standing up transition) has been proposed as a promising solution in several epidemiological and clinical studies. In parallel to the large interest it initially created, there is a growing body of evidence indicating that breaking up prolonged sedentary time (.
