Scientific research on exercise, athletic performance and the mind-body connection

Exercise / Athletic Performance / Body-Mind Research

Our goal is to provide you with the latest accurate, unbiased published scientific research from reliable sources to help you make the best decisions regarding your health and wellness. 

We are providing you on many of the important discoveries over the past decade relating to physical activity that are being made on an almost daily basis by universities and research institutions worldwide. There is a real need to disseminate this information to the general public as many of these exciting discoveries are being routinely overlooked by the mass media.  

Help make our blogs better. Your input is greatly appreciated!
