Altitude Sickness Drug Doesn’t Impair Exercise Performance above Sea Level, Study Finds
A new study finds that a medication commonly prescribed to prevent and combat symptoms of acute mountain sickness does not reduce exercise performance at high altitudes. This may be especially important for military personnel and first responders not accustomed to working above sea level. The study is published ahead of print in the Journal of Applied Physiology.

Eating Too Much — Not Exercising Too Little — May Be at Core of Weight Gain, Study of Amazonian Children Finds
Forager-horticulturalist children in the Amazon rainforest do not spend more calories in their everyday lives than children in the United States, but they do spend calories differently. That finding provides clues for understanding and reversing global trends in obesity and poor metabolic health, according to a Baylor University researcher in a study published in Science Advances.

Poor sight causes people to overstep the mark
Visually-impaired risk falling by stepping higher and more slowly over objects
Women who live near green space are less likely to be overweight or obese
The findings are presented in a new study of more than 2,300 inhabitants of seven Spanish provinces
HIIT timing matters for increasing fitness
60-second intervals with 60-second breaks are effective whereas 30-second ones and 120-second rests aren’t

Exercise, Weight Loss May Induce Metabolism-related Changes to Molecules in Gut
New research finds that exercise causes changes to some of the body’s metabolites—small molecules the body produces during metabolism—and also triggers change in blood levels of unique “foreign” molecules not thought to stem from our own metabolism. These changes to the global metabolome—the entire group of metabolites found throughout the body in the blood, tissues or urine—may help scientists better understand the body’s response to exercise.
