COVID-19 severity among well-controlled diabetics differs little from that in nondiabetics, but those with poorly controlled blood glucose have substantially increased risk of severe disease and mortality.

This article, the second installment in a four-part series on meal timing, discusses the physiological effects of various time-restricted eating patterns. Series author Tyler Hass reviews the scientific literature on the subject and calls for more studies on a wider variety of populations using different intermittent fasting strategies, better quality food, and more effective exercise protocols.

In the four-part series on CrossFit’s charter of mechanics, consistency, and intensity, we defined terms and discussed the training application in the broadest sense. In this article, we will mine the same concepts for a more specific training application: developing the muscle-up.

Science is the objective branch of knowledge. Yet objectivity is not an absolute, and it is not guaranteed simply by supplying measurements. Objectivity lies in scientific models and their predictive powers. Objectivity is not a discrete entity, either present or absent, but is a continuously valued parameter.

Matt Lodin corrects an athlete's squat by bringing him up to just below parallel, then refining other primary points of performance.

In this 2020 editorial, the editor-in-chief of Molecular Brain finds a significant share of authors are unable or unwilling to provide the raw data to substantiate their results, raising questions regarding the potential for unchecked fraud and error.

Nearly 90% of Americans have suboptimal metabolic health and may therefore have increased risk of infectious disease morbidity and/or mortality.

The anterior and lateral muscles of the ankle equip the joint for various movements and functions, including plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, extension of the toes, and the inversion and eversion of the foot.

This small trial indicates carbohydrate/calorie restriction and exercise have significant, additive benefits on multiple measures of cognitive function and performance in men and women with metabolic syndrome.

On March 12, 2010, Coach Greg Glassman visited Dr. Scott Connelly with the intent was to tap into Dr. Connelly's vast knowledge of metabolism, particularly as it relates to long-term fitness and health. The result was over 90 minutes of education about the relationships among glucose, insulin, ATP, protein, body weight and health.

“I’m so glad I made that first step,” says Frances Carpenter, reflecting on the transformation she has undergone at CrossFit Inversion in Yorba Linda, California.

A survey of low-carb dieters reveals consistent and substantial improvements across a variety of measures of metabolic, mental, and overall health.

As American waistlines have expanded over the past several decades, so has the amount of time we spend eating. Part one of this three-part series on meal timing summarizes significant research findings related to meal frequency and examines the impact of various eating patterns on health and athletic performance.

A 2020 cross-sectional study examines some of the primary metabolic changes accompanying an extended exercise program, including improved lipid metabolism and vascular function.
