Females Heal More Quickly than Males after Muscle Injuries
American Physiological Society (APS)

Females may begin to recover twice as fast as males when it comes to muscle injuries, according to a new study in mice. The findings support the idea of forming individualized treatment plans based on a person’s biological sex. The research will be presented at the 2024 Integrative Physiology of Exercise conference, Nov. 20–22, in State College, Pennsylvania.

Hot Water Immersion Better than Cold to Maintain Exercise Performance
American Physiological Society (APS)

Soaking in a hot tub may be preferable to an icy cold bath after exercise if the goal is to maintain optimum performance, according to a new study. This is especially true for those competing in back-to-back races in a short time span. The research will be presented at the 2024 Integrative Physiology of Exercise conference, Nov. 20–22, in State College, Pennsylvania.
