Article Abstract
The present study was designed to investigate the effects of resistance exercise and recovery on platelet activation and function. Twenty one healthy male subjects (27.9 +/- 4.8 years) completed three sets of five to seven repetitions of six exercises at an intensity corresponding to 80% of one repetition maximum (1RM), which was followed by 30 minutes recovery. Venous blood samples (20 ml) were obtained before, immediately after exercise and at the end of recovery and were analysed for platelet indices, platelet aggregation using collagen and various final concentrations of adenosine-5'-diphosphate (ADP), and beta thromboglobulin (B-TG). Resistance exercise was followed by a significant increase in corrected platelet count, corrected plateletcrit, and B-TG. These increases were transient and decreased to pre-exercise level at the end of recovery. When plasma samples were not corrected for changes in platelet count, exercise was followed by a significant increase (P < 0.05) in platelet aggregation using high concentration of ADP. With corrected samples, platelet aggregation and B-TG were not altered after exercise and recovery. It was concluded that heavy resistance exercise induces in vivo activation of platelets as manifested by an increase in platelet aggregation and a rise in B-TG and that these changes could be explained partially by changes in plasma volume and platelet count induced by exercise.

High-Intensity Exercise and Hippocampal Integrity in Adults With Cannabis Use Disorder: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Psychiatry
September 2025
School of Psychological Sciences, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Importance: Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug, with 10% to 30% of regular users developing cannabis use disorder (CUD), a condition linked to altered hippocampal integrity. Evidence suggests high-intensity interval training (HIIT) enhances hippocampal structure and function, with this form of physical exercise potentially mitigating CUD-related cognitive and mental health impairments.
Objective: To determine the impact of a 12-week HIIT intervention on hippocampal integrity (ie, structure, connectivity, biochemistry) compared with 12 weeks of strength and resistance (SR) training in CUD.
Passive stiffness of the biarticular hamstring muscles could acutely decrease after eccentric-only resistance exercise, but not after passive muscle lengthening: Effects of exercise load.

This study aimed to investigate the acute changes in the passive stiffness of biarticular hamstring muscles after passive stretching and eccentric-only resistance exercise performed at different loads. Thirteen healthy young male participants performed four exercise sessions (on separate days) that comprised passive knee extension (0% of maximal eccentric torque) and eccentric-only knee flexion at different loads (25%, 50% and 75%). Maximal knee joint range of motion, passive torque, shear moduli of the biarticular hamstring muscles, and maximal isometric torque were measured before, 5 min, and 30 min after completing each session.

Current treatments for narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) have little impact on psychiatric, cognitive and metabolic comorbidities. Here, we evaluated the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a prospective Exercise Training (ET) program on sleep-related symptoms and comorbidities in NT1. Sedentary adult with NT1 participated in a 6-week supervised ET program followed by a 18-week self-directed program.

Background: Fine particulate matter has developmental toxicity, and midgestation is an important period for the development of foetal skeletal muscle. The ability of exercise to modulate skeletal muscle damage in mice exposed to PM during gestation remains unclear.
Methods: Pregnant C57BL/6 mice were exposed to 50 μg/m PM for 2 h on five consecutive days starting at embryonic day 12.
Blood flow restriction training: a new approach for preventing and treating sarcopenia in older adults.

With the intensification of population aging, sarcopenia in older adults has become a significant public health issue affecting quality of life. Sarcopenia is a progressive and systemic skeletal muscle disorder characterized by reduced muscle mass, decreased muscle strength, and diminished physical function. Although conventional exercise interventions have shown some efficacy in managing sarcopenia, their effects are limited and often insufficient to effectively halt disease progression.
