Maintaining Physical Performance: The Minimal Dose of Exercise Needed to Preserve Endurance and Strength Over Time
Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research
How much training is needed when the goal is to keep existing fitness? The paper examines reductions lasting more than four weeks. In one research series, participants preserved aerobic capacity for 15 weeks after reducing training…

Maintenance of weight loss after lifestyle interventions for overweight and obesity, a systematic review
Obesity Reviews
Losing more weight at the start does not necessarily mean retaining a smaller proportion of that loss later. The authors examined 22 lifestyle interventions followed by at least a year without supervision. Across the selected studies,…

Management of Cerebral Edema, Brain Compression, and Intracranial Pressure
Continuum
Treating swelling after an acute brain injury involves more than lowering a pressure number. The author describes a stepped approach that begins when symptoms indicate a need for treatment, alongside measures to reduce the risk of…

Maximal Number of Repetitions at Percentages of the One Repetition Maximum: A Meta-Regression and Moderator Analysis of Sex, Age, Training Status, and Exercise
Sports Medicine
A weight that feels equally heavy relative to your maximum does not allow the same repetitions in every exercise. Using data from nearly 7,000 people, drawn mainly from healthy study groups, researchers estimated how many repetitions…

Maximal strength measurement: A critical evaluation of common methods, a narrative review
Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
A strength test can agree with another about who is stronger without giving the same answer about how strong someone is. This matters when replacing a maximum lift with a test against an immovable resistance. The…

Measuring and estimating insulin resistance in clinical and research settings
Obesity (Silver Spring)
An insulin-resistance result is easier to understand when you know what the test actually measures. Insulin affects glucose handling in muscle and liver and the release of fat from fat tissue. This paper compares direct experimental…

Mechanical Signaling for Bone Modeling and Remodeling
Critical Reviews™ in Eukaryotic Gene Expression
Bone is not merely a structure that carries weight; its cells respond to the forces placed on it. The authors examine mechanotransduction, the conversion of physical forces into cellular signals. They describe how loading can influence…

Mechanical properties, physiological behavior, and function of aponeurosis and tendon
Journal of Applied Physiology
How does a muscle's pull reach a bone when the connecting tissues do not all stretch alike? Tendons and aponeuroses, the broad sheets where muscle fibres attach, have different shapes and mechanical behaviour. Human imaging shows…

Mechanisms Underlying Range of Motion Improvements Following Acute and Chronic Static Stretching: A Systematic Review, Meta-analysis and Multivariate Meta-regression
Sports Medicine
Reaching farther after stretching does not necessarily mean your muscle fibers have become longer. Data from 65 studies involving 1,542 adults were used to examine what changes after a single static stretching session or repeated sessions.…

Mechanisms and pathology of protein misfolding and aggregation
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
Knowing a protein's possible shape is not the same as knowing how it takes shape inside a cell. The authors distinguish advances in predicting structures from the still incomplete understanding of cellular folding. Protein chains do…
