The work reveals that the brain — in mice and, presumably, in humans — is actively involved in the development of endurance, the ability to get better at a physical activity with repeated practice, ...

Heavy leg exercises may increase production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports the growth and maintenance of nerves in the brain, Carbone said. This process, called ...
