BFR is used to make low-load exercise more effective. But does it actually add benefit in adults with overweight? Our study challenges this assumption. 6 weeks of home-based resistance training showed no added benefit from BFR. doi.org/10.1007/s00421-026-0… @EJAP_official

Mouth taping and nasal dilators are trending, despite thin evidence. We tested the breathing route effect. At rest, it had minimal impact. But with a stressor (low O₂ or high CO₂), nasal breathing cuts heart rate and V̇O₂. doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.2358…: researchgate.net/publication…

Creatine's cognitive benefits are gaining attention. A new meta-analysis analyzed the evidence but shows a common pitfall: the unit-of-analysis error. Treating linked outcomes from same participants as independent inflates results. I break it down here: 👇 dx.doi.org/10.3389/fnut.2026…
