- Scientists Figure Out Why High Intensity Training Can Be As Effective As Longer Exercise
Researchers from Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute have discovered how high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can deliver similar health benefits to prolonged endurance exercises. HIIT is an exercise strategy that alternates short, intense anaerobic activity with a less intense recovery period.

- mHealthApps: A Repository and Database of Mobile Health Apps
The market of mobile health (mHealth) apps has rapidly evolved in the past decade. With more than 100,000 mHealth apps currently available, there is no centralized resource that collects information on these health-related apps for researchers in this field to effectively evaluate the strength and weakness of these apps.
Objective
The objective of this study was to create a centralized mHealth app repository. We expect the analysis of information in this repository to provide insights for future mHealth research developments.
Methods
We focused on apps from the two most established app stores, the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. We extracted detailed information of each health-related app from these two app stores via our python crawling program, and then stored the information in both a user-friendly array format and a standard JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format.
Results
We have developed a centralized resource that provides detailed information of more than 60,000 health-related apps from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Using this information resource, we analyzed thousands of apps systematically and provide an overview of the trends for mHealth apps.
Conclusions
This unique database allows the meta-analysis of health-related apps and provides guidance for research designs of future apps in the mHealth field.

- Does Leg and Hip Asymmetry Need to Be ‘Corrected’?
The quest for body symmetry is something that a number of medical and fitness professionals over-emphasize in their treatment or exercise program design. For example, in the National Academy of Sports Medicine’s Corrective Exercise Specialist manual, “abnormal” gait movement patterns, such as hip hike and excessive pelvic rotation, are indicators that certain muscles are “weak.” […]
Geoff Strauss’s insight:
Symmetry does "normally" exist but with some variability able to be accommodated by the system during submaximal tasks. Studies analysed a single left and right foot contact during walking gait? - CSIRO's heart attack app proving a lifesaver
