We examined whether endurance training for a standard marathon (42.2 km) had a greater influence on male libido than more generalized endurance exercise training. We surveyed adult men (>1000) who regularly engaged in endurance running to evaluate exercise training histories-patterns and libido characteristics. Our participants were primarily recruited from North America and Europe. Results indicate men conducting marathon training had lower libido scores (p

Concussion induces the rapid onset of a short-lived neurophysiological disturbance that often results in autonomic nervous system dysfunction. This dysfunction affects both cardiovascular functioning and higher cognitive processing, inducing post-concussion clinical symptoms (somatic, cognitive, and/or emotional) and functional disturbances (impaired balance, cognition, and visual-vestibular performance). Current concussion rehabilitation paradigms using aerobic exercise may improve concussion symptoms. Additionally, cognitive training-focused rehabilitation interventions may improve cognitive function post-injury. Though successful independently, the multifaceted nature of concussion suggests the potential benefit of integrating both aerobic exercise and cognitive training-based concussion rehabilitation to improve concussion outcomes and clinician implementation. To support this clinical recommendation, we critiqued existing research investigating aerobic exercise and cognitive training as post-concussion rehabilitation modalities, identified keys gaps in the literature, and proposed a practical clinical recommendation to integrate both modalities during concussion rehabilitation.

This pilot study assessed the feasibility and combined effect of aerobic exercise (AE) and mindfulness meditation (MM), compared with MM alone and a control (CON) condition, on stress, anxiety, and depression in high-stress college-based young adults. Thirty-two participants (84.4% F, 20.5 ± 2.7 years, 23.9 ± 5.0 kg/m
