No difference in mean middle cerebral artery blood velocity responses between lower- and upper-body unilateral resistance exercise in untrained individuals

physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/...

No difference in mean middle cerebral artery blood velocity responses between lower‐ and upper‐body unilateral resistance exercise in untrained individuals

Dynamic resistance exercise (RE) produces sinusoidal fluctuations in blood pressure that are mirrored by middle cerebral artery blood velocity (MCAv). However, whether lower- or upper-body RE elicits...

🌏🔥 Antarctica is heating — and Australia will feel it

Unusual warming high above Antarctica’s stratosphere is set to disrupt weather patterns for months. Scientists warn this could mean hotter, drier conditions across southern Australia this spring and summer.
