As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to worsen burnout and fatigue, many people are eager to take a deep breath and find a more balanced approach to lifeat home, at the office, and at the gym.

There are signs that people are now chasing the mental-health benefits of exercise even more than the physical ones. According to a 2022 trends report from online fitness-class scheduling platform Mindbody, the top two reasons that Americans work out are now to reduce stress and feel better mentally. Thats a striking change from even the recent pre-pandemic past; in 2019, controlling weight and looking better were top motivators for many exercisers, according to Mindbodys report from that year.

Similar trends are appearing in scientific literature, says Genevieve Dunton, chief of health behavior research at the University of Southern Californias Keck School of Medicine. People are reporting slightly different motives for wanting to be active, compared to before the pandemic, Dunton says. The reasons are certainly more about stress reduction, anxiety release, and improved sleep.

The link between physical activity and mental wellness is well established. People have talked about the mood-boosting runners high for at least half a century, and countless studiesincluding one conducted by Dunton during the pandemicconfirm that exercise can improve mental health and mood, potentially even preventing or lessening symptoms of depression for some people. But the pandemic seems to have heralded a culture shift in the fitness world, as in so many others: Mental wellness is no longer a happy side effect of a workout routine meant to torch calories or sculpt a six-pack. For many people, it is now the whole point.

Everything shifts when the world gets turned upside down, Dunton says. If one is dealing with sleep issues or feeling very anxious or stressed, that becomes the number-one priority, and the other priorities shift downward.

Fitness brands have picked up on this change, says Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, an associate professor of history at the New School and author of Fit Nation, a forthcoming book about the history and culture of exercise in the U.S. You see now a lot more exercise programs marketing themselves as [for] mental health or self care, rather than [with] a competitive, hard-driving ethos, she says.

Super-intense fitness studios are even adapting to fit the moment. Tone House, which offers athletic conditioning classes that are often called the hardest workouts in New York City, has brought down the intensity lately, says chief operating officer Elvira Yambot. The brand recently began offering intermediate and introductory versions of its signature workout, in recognition that you may not [always] want to go 500% in an advanced classand that lots of people are a little out of shape after being extra sedentary for the last couple years, Yambot says.

Compared to pre-pandemic times, more people are now booking recovery services to help them stay well, such as sessions in Tone Houses NormaTec compression therapy devices, Yambot adds. Both Mindbody and fitness startup ClassPass identified recovery serviceslike massages and sauna sessionsas growing trends in recent reports, and the Wall Street Journal has reported on the number of rest and recovery classes popping up in traditional gyms.

Tone House is considering adding more wellness servicesand perhaps even yoga classesto its schedule, Yambot says. That might be surprising given the brands reputation, but it goes back to a more balanced wellness plan, but also a larger approach to life, Yambot says. Its no longer a trendy term. Work-life balance is something that even New Yorkers are looking to incorporate now, more so than before. (For the record, Yambot says Tone House never set out to become the hardest workout in New York.)

Does that mean the days of high-intensity, physically punishing workouts are over? Not necessarily. According to ClassPass 2021 fitness trends report, 60% of people prefer high-energy workouts on stressful days, compared to 40% who go for calming activities like yoga. And Joey Gonzalez, CEO of Barrysa brand known for grueling bootcamp classessays some of his studios are actually seeing higher attendance rates now than before the pandemic. I dont think there will be this major shift from high-intensity to low-impact, he says. Theres always a time and a place for different types of exercise.

Thats probably true, Petrzela says. What we might be seeing is not so much a change in the actual exercise modalities that people are participating in, but more in their approaches to them, she explains. Take CrossFit, which is known for workouts that feature exercises like Olympic weight-lifting and cardio circuitsand an intensity that some people allege has driven them to injury. The workouts are still intense, but the brands new CEO recently told TIME he is committed to making CrossFit a healthier company, culturally speaking.

At Barrys, mental health is also becoming a higher priority for the brand, even if its core offerings arent changing drastically, Gonzalez says. Each year, Barrys sponsors a challenge for members: essentially, a push to attend lots of classes over a month-long period. This year, the challenge had a mental health theme. Participants got a free trial of the therapy platform BetterHelp if they signed up, and Barrys hosted virtual conversations about mental wellness.

A gentler, slower pandemic-era mindsetwith an extra focus on mental healthmay have softened the edges of some tough workouts for now. But Petrzela suspects that a newfound dedication to mental well-being is not the only thing motivating people.

Even with meditation and gentler mindfulness practices, there are a lot of people who engage in those to self-optimize and be better at other things, Petrzela says. In American culture, she says, mindfulness is often just another way to work on improving your hustle, not taking a rest from it.

Mental Health Benefits Are Getting Americans Back to the Gym - TIME

Not everyone exercises for the same reason. For some, exercise is a means of addressing a health issue such as hypertension. Some work out to build strength in one part of the body or another, and some to improve their mood.

A new study suggests the time of day at which a person exercises may produce different results. In addition, those results are not the same for women and men.

Professor Paul J. Arciero, lead author of the study and professor at the Health and Human Physiological Sciences Department at Skidmore College in New York, tells BBC News that the best time for exercise is when people can fit it into their schedules.

Nonetheless, the study reveals certain time periods when individuals are most likely to achieve specific exercise goals.

Dr. Asad R. Siddiqi, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Weill Cornell Medicine in NYC, who was not involved in the study, told Medical News Today:

I appreciated the authors stated goal of adding to our understanding of the effects of training on female athletes and how that may differ from male athletes.

Women are notoriously underrepresented in the medical literature, and even hypothesizing that there may be a difference between how different biological sexes respond to exercise indicates a level of thoughtfulness and nuance that has long been missing from scientific inquiry. Dr. Asad R. Siddiqi

The study was published in frontiers in Physiology.

The researchers tracked the benefits of exercise in a group of 30 women and 26 men who were assigned to exercise in the morning specifically between 6:00 to 8:00 am or in the evening from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.

All participants were healthy, non-smoking, athletically trained individuals.

The participants trained according to the PRISE (Protein pacing intake combined with Resistance functional, Interval sprint, Stretching, Endurance exercise) exercise and fitness paradigm developed by Dr. Arciero.

All participants followed a designed healthy meal plan and intake was similar in morning and evening groups.

The authors of the study measured a range of outcomes, including muscular strength, endurance and power, body composition, systolic/diastolic blood pressure, respiratory exchange ratio, and mood states, as well as their dietary intake.

Dr. Siddiqi cautioned that the participants were all healthy, active, lean, and weight-stable individuals, which may not be particularly reflective of the habits, demographics, or goals of the larger population.

He noted, in particular, that they were middle-aged adults with no cardiovascular disease. Thus, this would not be representative of the general population.

One of the unique aspects of the study is its exploration of exercise time of day on mood.

[F]or the first time, we show that exercise time of day significantly alters mood state in women and men, Dr. Arciero told MNT.

Specifically, women who exercise in the [p.m.] significantly boost overall mood state compared to those exercising in the morning. Prof. Paul J. Arciero

Dr. Siddiqi also pointed out another interesting finding:

The men studied had greater improvement in perceived mood state than women. Exercise seemed to decrease tension, depression, anger, substantially in men regardless of time of day, whereas improvements in tension and depression were only seen in women who exercised at night.

He added that studying mood is inherently more difficult due to its reliance on self-reporting.

All participants showed improvements in all areas after the 12-week trial. However, the nature of improvements varied.

The effect was less pronounced in men. However, there were differences:

Dr. Arciero noted that a direct comparison between women and men was not the goal of the study.

However, he said, several potential mechanisms for the differences between women and men with regards to their response to exercising at different times of the day may include; variations in neuromuscular function, capillary density, hunger responses, and fat metabolism between women and men.

[These differences] suggest molecular, endocrine, metabolic, and neuromuscular factors likely contribute to these diurnal variations in health and physical performance outcomes between women and men. Prof. Paul J. Arciero

The precise mechanism, Dr. Arciero continued, is not clear, but may be related to neuro-hormonal-psychological effects of exercising later in the day as a form of a stress-reliever that may also favorably impact sleep quality. Its interesting to note that [p.m.] exercise in men also significantly reduced feelings of fatigue.

The studys findings suggest that people consider the time of day at which they will exercise as they develop exercise or fitness programs with their physicians, added Dr. Arciero.

Men, women might have different optimal times of day for exercise - Medical News Today

The New England Patriots offseason workout program began on April 18, and was originally scheduled to come to an end this week. However, head coach Bill Belichick opted to cancel the final practice of mandatory minicamp last Thursday and the two organized team activities set to take place on Monday and Tuesday.

The teams offseason workout program is therefore now officially wrapped up, raising the question: What comes next? While the first impulse may be to scream Vacation! not all of the Patriots players are indeed headed into their summer break yet.

Lets lay out the schedule for the coming weeks.

Rookie developmental program (May 16-July 1): Whereas the Patriots veterans have already left offseason workouts behind them, the teams rookie class will continue to participate in the so-called rookie developmental program for the next two weeks. The program itself is meant to give first-year players a better start into their pro football lives.

It is governed by the NFL-NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement, with timing restraints in place not to overwork the youngsters:

During a Clubs Rookie Football Development Program, players may only participate in Club activities for a maximum of eight hours per day. Players may participate in on-field activities for no more than three and one-half hours per day. The on-field time limits described above shall begin as soon as position coaches begin to coach a player or players on the field.

Additionally, New England will host a so-called rookie readiness program in late June. Effectively a mandatory orientation meeting, it will expand upon the developmental program by taking a more holistic look at the rookie experience.

The Patriots have 16 players participating in the rookie developmental and rookie readiness programs: G Cole Strange, WR Tyquan Thornton, CB Marcus Jones, CB Jack Jones, RB Pierre Strong Jr., QB Bailey Zappe, RB Kevin Harris, DT Sam Roberts, OL Chasen Hines, OL Andrew Stueber, OL Kody Russey, DT LaBryan Ray, DE DaMarcus Mitchell, DB Brenden Schooler, P Jake Julien, LS Ross Reiter.

Summer break (June 9/July 1-July 22): While New Englands rookie class will not yet start its summer vacation, the veteran players on the roster i.e. 69 of 85 currently under contract are already enjoying their time off. Obviously, though, time off is relative in the NFL. While there is no practice schedule, players will continue to work out on their own or under team supervision to get in shape for the rigors of training camp and preseason football.

Still, the summer break gives players and coaches alike an opportunity to spend time with their families and to take care of personal matters as head coach Bill Belichick pointed out at this point in 2021.

I think this is the opportunity for everyone individually to handle the things that they need to handle on their personal lives and preparations to the season to make sure that when they come to training camp and they start the season, that theyre ready to go, he said. Some things will be difficult to do because of our time commitments during the season, that maybe some of those can be done between now and the start of training camp.

Training camp (starting July 27): The Patriots announced on Tuesday that their first training camp practice will take place on Wednesday, July 27. Players will have to arrive earlier than that, though. Based on past schedules, we can project that rookies and previously injured/rehabbing veterans will have to report for medical checkups as early as July 23. Healthy veterans, meanwhile, will report back to Gillette Stadium on July 26.

The first practice taking place on July 27 will once again be open to he public, as will be he subsequent sessions that have already been announced on July 28-30.

Preseason (starting August 11): The Patriots will take the next major step in their development on August 11, welcoming the New York Giants to Gillette Stadium for both teams preseason opener.

New England will follow this contest with two set of joint practices. They will host the Carolina Panthers ahead of their preseason contest on August 19 and will travel to Las Vegas to work with Josh McDaniels Raiders ahead of their August 26 bout.

FORT SILL, Oklahoma (June 14, 2022) Reynolds Army Health Clinic is offering a physical training program for postpartum Soldiers aimed at getting new Soldier-moms back to duty more quickly.

The Pregnancy/Postpartum Physical Training program (P3T) is designed to provide safe, standardized physical training and education led by personnel trained in pregnancy and postpartum fitness, said Capt. Samantha Kinsman, P3T manager, United States Army Reserve. The program promotes readiness through health by maintaining fitness levels of pregnant Soldiers, and successfully integrating postpartum Soldiers back into unit physical readiness training.

The new parenthood policy is a big win for the Soldiers in P3T. Previously the Soldiers had 180 days from the day they leave the hospital to meet those height and weight requirements and the Army Combat Fitness Test, said Kinsman. P3T has been helping female Soldiers who are pregnant, and those who are postpartum, maintain a specific level of physical fitness so they can go back to their unit as soon as possible.

While the program itself isnt affected by recent Army policy changes, the time soldiers have to recover from pregnancy and return to physical readiness is.

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth issued Army Directive 2022-06 (Parenthood, Pregnancy and Postpartum) April 19, 2022. The directive is aimed at improving opportunities for Soldiers to advance their careers while providing the time and flexibility needed to care for growing families.

The biggest change to the new Army policy targeting parenthood issues is Soldier-moms have 365 days to meet their height and weight standards instead of 180 days after the birth of a child.

In general, having six months to meet height and weight requirements and then pass the ACFT after having a baby is not enough. It takes you nine months to grow a baby and I think every person should be afforded at least that much time to get back to some sort of normal and take care of a tiny human, said Kinsman. I think a year is fair. Six months was definitely pushing it. We could see it was definitely stressing some Soldiers out.

Fort Sill and Reynolds Army Health Clinic offer the P3T program for pregnant and postpartum Soldiers to safely do PT every morning from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. Participants meet Monday through Friday for workout sessions with education classes on Thursdays at the Graham Performance Enhancement Center.

Pregnant and postpartum Soldiers are in our program for 180 days and in that time we try to do everything we can for them, teach them good habits for the future, and help them maintain a certain level of fitness, said Sgt. 1st Class Anthony Dumond, P3T noncommissioned officer in charge, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Air Defense Artillery. The new policy gives them 365 days to meet the height and weight standards, which is a big change.

Based on several Army studies and current literature it was shown that after 15 months of pregnancy and postpartum, Soldiers who return to unit physical training without intervention demonstrate reduced fitness levels, increased body fat, and increases in injuries and illness rates. P3T offers specifically designed PT for these Soldiers to help them maintain overall health and well-being, said Kinsman.

We try to strengthen the muscles especially those muscle groups that are going to be used during delivery. We focus on things that are going to help their bodies during the adjustment that they make, such as keeping their posture good and just maintaining, said Kinsman.

In addition to physical training, the program offers new parents resources like baby supplies including, diapers, formula and clothing. There is also a swap meet in the works for the participants so they can exchange baby items and it gives them an informal event to socialize, she said.

We bring in a lot of really cool resources in the community, said Kinsman. We do a lot with the New Parent Support program and we bring in chiropractors and doulas to show them what local resources are available. Its giving them the link so they know where to go if they have issues.

A supervised exercise programme can help people who have survived a serious stroke significantly cut their chances of dying within 12 months, researchers have found.

The American study saw 246 people complete a programme of exercise, therapy and medical follow-up.

The results have led the research team to call for stroke rehabilitation to be considered in the same way cardiac rehabilitation is.

Dr Sara Cuccurullo, a Co-Principal Investigator of the study, said: After a stroke, sometimes family members are cautious. Dont get up, you might fall. Many caregivers of stroke survivors discourage stroke patients from being active and mobile.

But we are showing that even survivors of serious stroke can exercise safely in a supervised program and they can benefit enormously.

The study involved participants closely matched in terms of gender, race, type of stroke and medical complexity, as stroke can vary significantly from one person to another.

From a group of 449 participants, 246 completed the cardiac rehabilitation programme and from this group, four people died within 12 months of their stroke. From the group which did not participate in the programme, 14 patients died.

The latest research from the Stroke-HEARTTMTrials at Hackensack Meridian JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute also show the programme participants saw a significant increase 78% in their cardiovascular capacity. Improvements were also seen in mobility, self-care, and communication/cognition.

Talya Fleming, Co-Principal Investigator of the study, said: Stroke survivors deserve the same benefits that patients with cardiac disease receive. As a nation, we need to do more to help patients with stroke improve their lives to improve both their longevity and quality of life.

We should enable stroke survivors to function in the community at the highest level possible.

The team said the programme can make a real difference in participants recovery, saying: Exercise has significant and multiple benefits associated with it, including promoting overall improvement in circulation, especially promoting enhanced circulation to the brain.

The study has been published in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases.
