Well, Dutch scientists from Amsterdam UMC and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) say they may have found an answer as to why sufferers are fatigued all of […]

Long COVID can destroy your muscles during exercise as the condition biologically changes the body and muscle tissue, a new study published in the journal Nature Communications suggests.

The persistent fatigue experienced by patients with long Covid may have a biological cause, according to a study.Researchers from Amsterdam University Medical Center (UMC) and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) in the Netherlands, discovered ...

Researchers from Amsterdam UMC and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) have discovered that the persistent fatigue in patients with long-COVID has a biological cause, namely mitochondria in muscle cells that produce less energy than in healthy patients.

Most investigations linking sleep and heart health focus on sleep duration or sleep efficiency. ETH Zurich focused on brain activity.

Swimming lessons are not only potentially life-saving; they also give a full-body workout that enhances cardiovascular and lung health. While most children in high-income countries learn to swim, few join a swimming club afterwards.

Researchers observed how swimming is typically taught, and evaluated the lessons in the light of the ‘self-determination theory’ of human motivation and personality. According to this theory, we enjoy activities best and persist in them when we are self-determined – that is, becoming and keeping motivated without prodding or supervision.
