    Exercise Intensity Terminology is a bit of a mess 😵‍💫 Here is our attempt to try and summarise some of the different approaches.

    "If exercise is truly to be treated as a medicine, a rigorous acknowledgment of the dose is warranted". Some good points in this article: bit.ly/3oZNVg1

    Does 'excessive' exercise training impair mitochondrial function, as suggested by a recent paper in Cell Metabolism bit.ly/3unO9id? @JohnAHawley & I have written a few thoughts go.nature.com/3tr8sKA in an invited commentary for @NatureRevEndo

    Tough to get motivated to write another grant application when not one of the ~ 300 NHMRC Ideas grants awarded in 2019 had "exercise" as a keyword. It seems the need for research on "exercise as medicine" is still under-appreciated

    New review bit.ly/3ogUzzu concludes that when exercise ends 2 h before bedtime, there are sleep benefits (faster sleep onset & ⬆️ sleep duration) but when exercise ends < 2 h before bedtime, sleep was negatively impacted (slower sleep onset & ⬇️ sleep duration)
