FitBodyScience㪠High intensity interval training induces beneficial effects on coronary atheromatous plaques - a randomized trial
Individuals with heart disease who completed supervised high-intensity interval training twice weekly for six months experienced a decrease in coronary plaque volume. Those who followed standard lifestyle advice did not show the same change.
Experimental
A new systematic review found that resistance exercise depletes skeletal muscle glycogen by about 104 units per session. Each additional set adds ~11 units, and every extra minute adds ~1.3 units. Surprisingly, heavier lifts use slightly less glycogen (-2.88 units per 1% increase). Beginners deplete more than trained individuals, and varying loads burns more than fixed weights. #FitnessScience #ExerciseScience #SportsNutrition
New study finds a striking sex difference: Male athletes training over 3,000 MET-min/week show more coronary calcium buildup than non-athletes β yet show no increased risk. Female athletes, regardless of volume, show no such buildup β and may even have fewer plaques than sedentary women. Exercise benefits everyone, but biology shapes the details. #ExerciseScience #HealthStudy #ScienceOfFitness
New review finds lifting straps help you hold heavier weights by supporting your gripβbut they donβt increase muscle activation in your back or pulling muscles. No evidence they lead to greater strength gains over time. Theyβre a helpful aid, not a magic solution. Use them if grip limits you, but donβt skip grip training. #StrengthTraining #ExerciseScience #FitnessScience
Psychotherapy Commission ACPERegular aerobic exercise is associated with a biologically younger brain as seen on MRI, particularly during midlife when prevention may yield long-term benefits. For psychotherapists, social workers, therapists, and other mental health professionals, the finding highlights a nonpharmacological factor that could support cognitive resilience across aging.
Article Title: MRI scans show exercise can make the brain look younger

Riccardo PadovanHonoured to present at SISMES 2025 the results of our research conducted at AUT SPRINZ (New Zealand), supervised by Dr Eric Helms.
The study explored high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) applications in resistance training, contributing to a deeper understanding of neuromuscular excitation patterns.
Great discussions, valuable feedback, and a reminder of why I love doing research.

Excited to announce that Iβve started a new role as Research Associate at the Sport Performance Research Institute New Zealand (SPRINZ), AUT.
My work will continue to focus on resistance training, neuromuscular adaptations, and advanced methodologies such as high-density surface EMG (HD-sEMG), in collaboration with an incredible team of researchers and practitioners.
Looking forward to sharing science and connecting here! π
