It's relatively easy to grow a bunch of animal cells to turn into a burger. But to grow a steak made of cultured meat is a trickier task. Bioengineers must create organized, three-dimensional tissues.
If you see professional athletes with velcro bands around their legs, this is why.
It probably sounds bad or uncomfortable to you. But stiffness is part of what gives elite athletes the spring in their muscles.
An ultra-marathon runner and exercise physiologist describes what it's like to take part in an ultra-endurance event, and the consequences it had on his body.
As we get older, there are many reasons our muscles might feel stiff. The most important thing is to keep moving.
Gyms have gone mad for these bits of neoprene. Yet researchers are still scrambling to catch up.
Children’s muscles recover rapidly from high-intensity exercise, and kids can produce repeated exercise efforts when most of us adults continue to feel exhausted.
It's not just elite sportspeople who get muscle cramps. If you've ever experienced one, you'll know how painful they are. But why do we get them, and is there anything to be done?

New research on whether animal- or plant-based protein sources are better have been severely misrepresented.
New research has linked vitamin D to increased leg strength including power, velocity and jump height.
The advice on the sides of protein tubs may have to change.
Working out is always good for you – until it's not.
New breakthrough in how to test proteins linked to touch and movement could have major implications for strokes, diabetes, spinal injuries and much more.
