Submissions tripled last month...exciting times for this new journal and the field!

Your brain has an overnight clean-up crew while you sleep & exercise might help it work better. 🧠😴 🏋️♀️
Watch Dr James Broatch from Victoria University explain it on the Nine Today Show this morning bit.ly/4he0Gjw,

Thrilled to have been invited to deliver the opening plenary session at the European College of Sports Science Meeting in Lausanne - Responding to the physical inactivity pandemic: "just do it" or "do it right"? #ECSS2026

It was a privilege to have played a role in this groundbreaking work of @Ma_Jochem, @cobbold_simon & David Komander showing in vivo ubiquitination of glycogen & metabolites in tissues, incl. skeletal muscle, that re-writes the textbooks. @WEHI_research

The bottom line:
Exercise remains the single best intervention for preserving function in older adults. Full stop.
I've always advocated that Rapamycin should NOT be used outside of FDA-approved indications and clinical trials

Species from fish to lizards have similar responses to exercise. In their SI Review, Husak & Lailvaux suggest that this response plays a role in life-history strategies and advocate for considering exercise from a life-history perspective in future studies

ALT A screenshot of the first page of the PDF of the SI Review Article, A life-history perspective on exercise, by Jerry Husak and Simon Lailvaux. The publication information states: © 2026. Published by The Company of Biologists | Journal of Experimental Biology (2026) 229, jeb251271. doi:10.1242/jeb.251271. The first sentence of the abstract says, 'Exercise has been extensively studied in humans because of its multiple benefits, yet it is unclear how relevant ‘exercise’ is to nonhuman animals and whether the effects of exercise are identical to those in humans'.

Exercise training induces mitochondrial biogenesis, while high-fat diet increases the ability of mitochondria to use long and short-chain fatty acids bit.ly/4seYBFR

I’m thrilled to share one of the studies from my PhD, which has just been published in @PNASNews 🤗
“Mitochondrial remodeling in skeletal muscle underlies exercise-induced reversal of age-associated functional decline in mice and humans”

We are ready to scale up glycogen analysis using electron microscopy.
By applying a new AI-based image analysis pipeline, workload for 50 samples was reduced from ~600 hours to ~20 hours. This moves us beyond small-scale TEM studies.

Our latest work in @natureComms, led by @javi_iup: Sprint exercise disrupts mitochondrial ultrastructure, driving a unique mito stress response & remodelling in men go.nature.com/48yZIbJ supports targeted exercise prescriptions to achieve specific mito adaptations.

Exercise Intensity Terminology is a bit of a mess 😵💫
Our attempt to try & summarise some of the different approaches, and make some recommendations going forward, has finally been published in both MSSE: bit.ly/4nT7Pq5 & JSaMS: bit.ly/46U7ptq.
