The endurance running hypothesis is a series of conjectures which presume humans evolved anatomical and physiological adaptations to run long distances [1] [2] [3] and, more strongly, that "running is the only known behavior that would account for the different body plans in Homo as opposed to apes or australopithecines".

Work out like a longevity expert: Dr. Ferrucci does 15 minutes of strength training per day, Pilates two times per week, and goes on a run two to three times per week. 2. Stay on top of your ...
Running in humans is associated with improved health and life expectancy. [4] It is hypothesized that the ancestors of humankind developed the ability to run for long distances about 2.6 million years ago, probably to hunt animals. [5] [6] Competitive running grew out of religious festivals in various areas.
Scientists found that if all people boosted their activity to 160 minutes daily, they could increase their life expectancy over five years. Experts explain how walking can benefit your health.
A marathoner's running economy is their sub maximal requirement for oxygen at specific speeds. This concept of running economy helps explain different marathon times for runners with similar aerobic capacities. [11] The steady state oxygen consumption used to define running economy demonstrates the energy cost of running at sub maximal speeds.
Katelyn Long, a researcher at Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program, was on a team that conducted a systematic review where they took thousands of scientific articles on religion, spirituality ...
Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...
Long-distance running, or endurance running, is a form of continuous running over distances of at least 3 km (1.9 mi). Physiologically, it is largely aerobic in nature and requires stamina as well as mental strength.
