Human sweat is a rich source of health information, offering insights into a person’s hydration level, electrolyte balance, and overall physiological state. For instance, lactate level in sweat is a ...

New research is studying female professional footballers to find out if if it is possible to predict just how much lactate a person will produce during exercise based on the physical attributes of ...

Lactate is a byproduct of exercise and metabolism, fueling our brain when oxygen is limited. More recently, scientists have become aware of the many roles it plays in developing our nervous system.

A Finnish study has found that listening to self-selected upbeat music during exercise can increase endurance by up to 20% without making workouts feel harder. Researchers observed that participants ...

Have you ever listened to one piece of advice that stuck with you so much it changed the way you experience and analyze your running? It’s a powerful thing. That’s what happened when I learned a ...

Researchers at the Dallas-based UT Southwestern Simmons Cancer Center report that lactate, a metabolic byproduct produced by cells during strenuous exercise, may rejuvenate immune cells that fight ...

A research team from the Tokyo University of Science has designed a novel sweat sensor for continuous monitoring of lactate, which is helpful for predicting muscle fatigue. In a study, researchers ...

Science has confirmed that exercise is good for the brain. It increases blood flow, inhibits stress hormones, and stimulates the release of “feel-good” endorphins. One way exercise is thought to yield ...

A volunteer is monitored after being given a large dose of glucose to determine how well people switch from fat to carbohydrate metabolism as they age. In the tests at UC Berkeley, subjects had their ...
