The shuttle run (a round-trip endurance run) test measures physical fitness by having subjects run back and forth for a certain distance. This test has been adopted as part of a new physical fitness test formulated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and it is conducted in many schools as part of physical fitness training.

New study explores the reluctance to publicly downplay moral transgressions

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Research by Professor Ike Silver and co-authors examines why people tend to escalate moral judgments when responding publicly to moral transgressions.

Adults with autism show similar brain mapping of body parts as typically developing adults

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition, is often associated with difficulties in social communication and repetitive behavior. Previous research reveals that people with ASD often find it challenging to interpret intentions from body language and have difficulty recognizing faces and emotions, which may contribute to their social communication problems.

Facts about heatstroke

Our bodies are designed to handle the heat. But high temps and overexertion can push them to the limit, leading to dangerous, potentially deadly heatstroke.

Researchers unlock hidden geometry of the heart to revolutionize ECG interpretation

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

A study led by scientists at King’s has revealed how the physical orientation of the heart inside the chest dramatically influences the electrical signals captured in an electrocardiogram (ECG)—a discovery that could pave the way for more personalized and accurate heart diagnostics.

Scientists propose a new frontier in food science: Tailoring diets based on gendered digestive efficiencies

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

A study conducted at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering has revealed significant differences between male and female digestive systems: the digestion of milk and milk alternatives is not identical between the sexes.

‘Weird shading’ tricks the brain into seeing 3D forms from simple lines

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Shading brings 3D forms to life, beautifully carving out the shape of objects around us. Despite the importance of shading for perception, scientists have long been puzzled about how the brain actually uses it. Researchers from Justus-Liebig-University Giessen and Yale University recently came out with a surprising answer.

Skin-like sensor can track body movement and electrical signals inside and out

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

A new skin-like sensor developed by an international team led by researchers at Penn State could help doctors monitor vital signs more accurately, track healing after surgery and even help patients with bladder control issues.

AI and open-source software promise faster, easier biomedical imaging

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

Two new open-source tools are set to make fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy—or FLIM—faster, simpler and more accessible. Developed by Ph.D. student Sofia Kapsiani in Professor Gabi Kaminski Schierle’s Molecular Neuroscience Group, the tools tackle long-standing technical and practical barriers in biomedical imaging.

Verbal response time reveals hidden sleepiness in older adults

MyBlueDots2 months ago01 mins

A new study led by UCLA investigators shows that Verbal Reaction Time (VRT), the amount of time it takes a person to respond verbally, can be a marker of sleepiness in older adults. The study, which measured participants’ voice data through standardized cognitive assessments, shows how VRT can passively detect excessive sleepiness, especially among older individuals using sedative medications.
