Relationship Between Fat Oxidation and Lactate Threshold in Athletes and Obese Women and Men
Aerobic fitness and metabolic efficiency across body types 
This study compared endurance-trained athletes with obese men and women to explore how fat oxidation relates to lactate threshold during graded treadmill exercise. Using indirect calorimetry, the authors found that the athletes reached peak fat oxidation at higher intensities and closer to their lactate threshold, whereas obese participants did so at much lower workloads. While the athlete group happened to be endurance-trained, the results point more

A Classic Graphic Reveals Nature’s Most Efficient Traveler
A famous graphic, now updated, compares locomotion in the animal kingdom
A refreshed Scientific American chart first published in 1973 shows just how extraordinary a simple machine can make us: when riding a bicycle, humans become among the most energy-efficient travelers on land—outperforming horses, dogs, and even some flying or swimming species. The bike’s wheels and frame let us coast like fish glide through water, minimizing the energy otherwise spent fighting gravity. Add an aerodynamic shell, and humans in “velomobiles” achieve movement efficiency comparable to nature’s best.

Keto Endocrine Metabolic Oncology (KEMO) Therapy for Cancer
with Dr Isabella Cooper
Isabella Cooper (University of Westminster) outlines the standards needed for rigorous ketogenic metabolic therapy (KMT) studies and explains how ketosis may regulate key growth pathways linked to cancer. She stresses that metabolic dysfunction isn’t limited to obesity—many lean individuals have chronically high insulin levels. Cooper recommends evening ketone testing (≥3 hours post-meal) over several days to detect subtle hyperinsulinemia and insists that true ketosis must be endogenous, not from supplements. Mechanistically, she connects excess insulin to ceramide buildup, mitochondrial damage, reactive oxygen species, and overstimulated growth signaling that suppresses normal cell death.

Effects of strength training on quality of life in pregnant women
Strength training shown to improve mood, energy, pain, and overall well-being during pregnancy
This systematic review of nine randomized controlled trials involving over 1,500 pregnant women found that strength training enhances multiple aspects of maternal health. Regular resistance exercise was linked to reduced back and sciatic pain, better mood and energy levels, improved sleep, and prevention of excessive weight gain. These benefits extended beyond those seen with aerobic activity alone, suggesting that adding strength training can improve both physical and psychological quality of life during pregnancy. The authors recommend incorporating resistance exercise into standard prenatal fitness guidelines.
