Choosing Personal Exercise Goals, Then Tackling Them Immediately is Key to Sustaining Change

In the largest study performed to date to understand the relationship between habitual physical activity and physical fitness, researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found that higher amount of time spent performing exercise (moderate-vigorous physical activity) and low-moderate level activity (steps) and less time spent sedentary, translated to greater physical fitness.

UCF researchers have developed a nanoparticle-based disinfectant that can continuously kill viruses on a surface for up to seven days -- a discovery that could be a powerful weapon against COVID-19 and other emerging pathogenic viruses.

Would you like to live longer? It turns out that where you live, not just how you live, can make a big difference.

After 7 days of recovery from a 10-day period of deficient sleep, participants in a small study had recovered their pre-sleep deprivation reaction speed, but had not fully recovered on any other measures of function. Jeremi Ochab of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland, and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on September 1, 2021 titled “Observing changes in human functioning during induced sleep deficiency and recovery periods”
