Exercise Science

We are committed to providing the science behind the exercise! At ForeverFitScience we detail the “why” for any exercise, workout, nutrition or health benefit, covering the popular to the obscure. There is a reason why some things become popular and how certain programs are more effective.

We break down the technical speak for it all to make it accessible for our readers. Exercise Science isn’t only for elite athletes and we make sure our health articles contain wisdom that will benefit athletes of all levels.

Applying Exercise Science to Daily Life

We hope that you take these scientific findings and apply them to your daily life. We have articles on nutrition, stress reduction, muscle recovery, disease prevention, athletic performance, and more.

The articles are all backed by recent scientific research. Stay tuned for more article as we are always watching the latest exercise science research.

Reaction Time Test: Improving Your Time

Improve Aerobic Capacity: Tips and Tricks

How to Improve Your Aerobic Capacity – Tips & Tricks

Alyssa Bialowas Cardiovascular exercise improves the ability to both move oxygen and nutrients to working muscles and to remove metabolic waste, which allows muscles to continue to perform a particular activity. Your fitness level depends on how effectively you can use oxygen at any given point in time during exertion. Exercise scientists previously thought

Exercising in the Heat

Alyssa Bialowas As temperatures continue to soar in the summer, it’s important to be cognizant of the effect that exercising in the heat has on your body. Intense exercise and a failure to modify the types of exercises and activities you participate in while in the direct sun can result in a rise in core

Fasted Workouts: The Key to Faster Weight Loss

Jesse Friesen Fasted exercise is beginning to gain a lot of attention in the fitness community as a method for weight loss. The idea behind this phenomena is that by having less glucose in the blood to be used for energy, the body must burn fat in order to fuel exercise. The increase in fat

Does Weightlifting Make You Smarter as You Age?

Evan Stevens New research just published has determined that leg exercises, particularly weight-bearing exercises, send signals to the brain which are of critical importance to neural cell health. This groundbreaking research has shown that neural cell health is as directly linked to the signals back from the large working muscles as are the signals developed

Which Is the Best for Aerobic Performance – HIIT or Endurance?

A Review by Alyssa Bialowas Long slow distance training refers to exercise that covers a relatively long distance at a slow and comfortable pace. Long slow distance training is associated with aerobic exercise such as running, cycling, walking, hiking and swimming. High-intensity interval training (HIIT), on the other hand, features intense bursts of high-intensity exercise

3 Ways Lifelong Exercise Prevents Aging

One of today’s most significant public health concerns is dementia, a group of symptoms associated with deteriorating memory and other thinking skills. To prevent dementia, one of the most beneficial things you can do is to start detecting a progressive decline in

Does Low Blood Flow Restrict Resistance Training Load?

A Review by Alyssa Bialowas It has been suggested that muscle size and strength gain from low-load resistance training with a low blood flow restriction is comparable to the results induced by traditional moderate-to-high-load training. If this is true, it could be beneficial for populations such as the elderly and those with osteoporosis, who are

Do Women’s Menstrual Cycle Affect Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage?

Alyssa Bialowas Introduction Studies have shown that a woman’s menstrual cycle can affect exercise-induced muscle damage and oxidative stress that follow bouts of physical activity and exercise. Estradiol is an estrogen steroid hormone and major female sex hormone that is responsible for the development of female secondary sex characteristics. During the menstrual cycle, estradiol
