- Scientists found the strength training sweet spot for a longer life
A 30-year study of 147,000 people found that 90–120 minutes of weekly strength training reduces overall mortality risk, particularly from cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Combining strength training with aerobic exercise enhances these benefits.
- This exercise habit may slash dementia risk and help you live longer, study finds
A study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that adults who engage in 90-119 minutes of weekly resistance training have a 13% lower risk of death from any cause, 19% lower risk of cardiovascular death, and 27% lower risk of neurological disease death compared to those who do no strength training. Combining resistance training with aerobic exercise further reduces mortality risk by up to 45%, while exceeding 120 minutes of resistance training per week offers no additional benefits.
- MIT scientists turn chaotic laser light into powerful brain imaging tool
MIT scientists discovered that chaotic laser light can form a focused 'pencil beam' under specific conditions, enabling 3D imaging of the blood-brain barrier 25 times faster than existing methods. This technique allows real-time tracking of drug movement into brain cells, potentially accelerating treatments for neurological diseases.
