Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder research team has found marked health benefits from electric-assist commuter bikes and ‘passive-cycling’; now, the team is studying an under-the-desk cycle that shows similar promise.
Scientists in the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ Sleep and Development Laboratory recently found that 4- 5-year-olds who go to bed later and are exposed to brighter nighttime light experience delays in the timing of their brain’s central timekeeper—the biological clock. That, in turn, could lead to night-owl schedules that are associated with a host of health problems.
A steady stream of nicotine normalizes genetically-induced impairments in brain activity associated with schizophrenia, according to new research involving Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researchers. The finding sheds light on what causes the disease and why those who have it tend to smoke heavily.
Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researchers have successfully reversed vascular dysfunction in aging mice with a dietary supplement. The findings have implications for preventing cardiovascular dysfunction and disease during aging in humans.
Does using more energy while running with heavier shoes translate into slower running times?
Is your preschooler getting enough sleep? If not, he or she may be inclined to consume more calories, according to a new Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder study, findings with implications for childhood obesity risk.
In what may be a first-ever exhaustive health study of intercollegiate student-athletes, a team of Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder researchers will gauge not only athletes’ fitness but also their general well-being.
A new Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØ study shows that using an electrically-powered bicycle on a regular basis can provide riders with an effective workout while improving some aspects of cardiovascular health, especially for riders who previously had been sedentary.
