The study adds to the growing body of science that suggests that “cocoon therapy”—bed rest in the dark with minimal mental stimulation after concussion—isn’t good for patients. Instead, when done under the guidance of a trained clinician, exercise is preferable, says Landon Lempke, a research fellow with appointments at the University of Michigan Concussion Center and the Exercise and Sport Science Initiative, both housed in the School of Kinesiology and first author of the study in the journal Sports Medicine. The observational study monitored more than 1,200 college athletes at 30 institutions nationwide before injury and at injury until medical clearance. The study wasn’t designed to establish a causal relationship between exercise and concussion recovery, but the findings are in line with previous smaller, randomized controlled trials identifying similar relationships. Athletes who began light exercise within 48 hours were considerably more likely to see symptoms resolve than those who did not exercise, with about 2.5 days faster symptom recovery time. Athletes who started exercising roughly eight days or later after injury were significantly less likely to experience symptom recovery than those who did not exercise, and took about five days longer to recover.

Furthermore: Swimming is a sport in which you have to have a certain minimum amount of body fat in order to excel. If you're not fat enough, your buoyancy is worse, you lose heat too fast, and your body isn't a streamlined enough shape. It's not the most fat-requiring sport, that would be sumo, but it's in the top half.

It's honestly such a shame that we've made such a huge thing out of swimming and swimsuits and looking good in swimsuits and fat people not looking good in swimsuits. Swimming is actually the perfect exercise for fat people because it puts zero pressure on the joints, which is a much bigger concern for us than it is for skinny people, and lets you exercise basically every muscle group without straining too much and risking injury. Yet somehow this is one of the least accessible exercises to fat people due to nothing more than a culture of body shaming. The work to unlearn all the shame to be comfortable in a bathing suit in front of strangers is huge even for conventionally attractive people, but I could probably count on one hand the number of fat people I've met who were confident enough to get in a bathing suit and go swimming in public.

And what is the exercise that somehow everyone thinks they should do instead? Jogging. It's more accessible, sure, it's easy and costs nothing to go outside and run. But I need you to understand telling a fat person to go running is basically telling them to go destroy their knees. Not to mention it's probably one of the most physically uncomfortable exercises to do when you have a body that jiggles even with compression garments.

Imagine a world where everyone had the ability and equal access to whatever exercise fit them best and helped them be happy and healthiest. Imagine a world where fat people go swimming.

The Role of Exercise in Preventing Chronic Diseases: A Comprehensive Review

Regular exercise is commonly recognised as an important component of living a healthy lifestyle. Its advantages go beyond physical fitness and include the prevention and management of chronic diseases. This blog article will investigate the impact of exercise on numerous chronic illnesses, using recent scientific research released between 2018 and 2023 as evidence. We can better understand the importance of incorporating physical activity into our everyday lives by investigating the scientific evidence on the benefits of exercise and its association with disease prevention.

EXERCISE AND CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH: Recent scientific study indicates that regular physical activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular disorders such as coronary artery disease, stroke, and heart failure (Smith et al., 2015). Aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, jogging, or cycling, improves cardiovascular fitness, lowers blood pressure, and lowers LDL cholesterol levels, all of which contribute to better heart health (Bouchard et al., 2012).

EXERCISE AND DIABETES PREVENTION: Type 2 diabetes has become a global epidemic, yet current research highlights the critical role of exercise in its prevention. Regular physical activity appears to enhance insulin sensitivity, aid in weight maintenance, and reduce the chance of developing diabetes (Colberg et al., 2010). Individuals who engage in moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking for 150 minutes per week, have a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes than their sedentary counterparts, according to research published in the last five years (Tuomilehto et al., 2001).

EXERCISE AND MENTAL HEALTH: In addition to physical benefits, exercise has a significant impact on mental health. Mandolesi et al. (2018) found that regular physical activity lowers the risk of depression, anxiety, and cognitive deterioration. Exercising causes the release of endorphins, chemicals that boost emotions of enjoyment and reduce stress. Furthermore, physical activity increases blood flow to the brain, promoting neuron development and increasing cognitive performance (Ratey & Hagerman, 2008).

EXERCISE AND CANCER PREVENTION: New study reveals that exercise can help prevent and control several types of cancer. Regular physical activity, according to studies published in the last five years, lowers the chance of acquiring colon, breast, and prostate cancers (Friedenreich et al., 2016). Exercise helps to maintain a healthy body weight, reduces inflammation, improves immunological function, and balances hormones, all of which contribute to a lower risk of cancer (Moore et al., 2016).

In conclusion, exercise is proving to be an effective therapy in the prevention and management of chronic diseases. Regular physical activity has numerous advantages, ranging from cardiovascular health and diabetes prevention to mental well-being and cancer risk reduction. It is critical to prioritise exercise as an intrinsic part of our daily routines, aiming for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week. We may considerably improve our general health and lower our risk of chronic diseases by including exercise into our daily life.

The Lifestyle of Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla was a very tall and skinny man, standing over six feet and weighing around one hundred and forty pounds. He had light blue-gray eyes, which was considered odd because he was of Serbian descent who were typically known to have darker eyes. Tesla, probably joking, said to a reporter that his eyes used to be dark, but using his mind so much had made them many shades lighter. The inventor was known to be very elegant, stylish, meticulous in his grooming, clothing, and regimented in his daily activities.

Tesla never married and remained a celibate and a bachelor his entire life. Tesla was solely committed to the principles of science above all else, and for this reason, he denied the love and companionship of a female counterpart. He chose to lead a solitary life, hoping only that this sacrifice to work would make his name live on through many centuries still to come.

One of his few hobbies other than work was feeding birds. Tesla’s respect for birds began when he was a child growing up in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He and his local friends made a sport out of catching live birds, and when Tesla himself caught a couple of keepers, he and his friend found themselves getting attacked by a murder of crows. The revolt forced the boys to release the birds and take cover. In America, he made it a specialty of his to treat sick pigeons, which seems odd because he was quite the germaphobe. He would feed them every day on his daily walks and would also take in wounded pigeons and nurse them back to health at his hotel in New York. He seemed to have had a better connection with birds than with most people. In 1917, he was awarded the Edison Medal, and upon receiving the award, the inventor could not be found. He was later found feeding pigeons near a local library and was persuaded back to the ceremony to give his speech.

Tesla suffered from an obsessive compulsive disorder, and because of this, he developed some very strange idiosyncrasies and phobias, such as having a strong dislike against earrings, pearls, peaches, and touching other people's hair. He counted the steps in his walks and calculated the cubical contents of soup plates, coffee cups, and pieces of food. All repeated acts or operations he performed had to be divisible by three.

While living in New York, Tesla kept his laboratories absolutely clean and pure, refused to touch other people, would wear gloves while shaking hands, and insisted upon personally cleaning his own plates and silverware at restaurants with his requested 18 napkins. This cleanliness was all intentional because, as a child, he almost died from cholera, which raged in the region of his hometown Lika due to contaminated water. Many found Tesla’s actions strange, but to him, it was a very important measure to protect his health.

In another way to keep his body clean and pure, Tesla invented an electrical apparatus that could give the human body a dry bath by passing millions of volts of electricity through it (similar to his demonstrations in the early 1890s where he passed electricity through his own body). His oscillator was a small, drum-like object about two feet long by one foot wide and could apply half a million volts of electricity through his body. The large amount of electricity would affect the germs without destroying the cells of the tissues of the body. Though his oscillator seemed like a fountain of youth, Tesla maintained his conventional ideas of health. He bathed daily, believed in plenty of exercise, and would walk eight or ten miles every day. He said that he never would take a cab or other conveyance and relied on his leg power for transportation.

His diet was a crucial part of his daily routine to remain healthy and to prolong the length of his life. He was very fussy and particular about his food: he ate very little, but what he did eat had to be the very best. He wasn’t a complete vegetarian; he ate meat, just not very occasionally (perhaps once or twice a year). He did believe though that humankind should move towards a vegetarian diet, not just because eating meat the way we do is “barbarous,” as he said, but because he believed the vegetarian diet is more beneficial to the human body.

In his later years, he never smoked, drank tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, or consumed any other stimulant. Since he saw life through the lens of his mechanistic theory of life, he took great care of his body as if it were a machine properly maintaining its best efficiency.

As for sleep, Tesla reported that he was a poor sleeper and had very unusual resting patterns. He claimed to only sleep a few hours each day and would oftentimes practice polyphasic sleep where he would take short naps for restoration instead of sleeping for a long period of time.

Unfortunately for Tesla and his clean and healthy lifestyle, in 1937, at the age of 81, he was hit by a taxicab during one of his regular walks. It is likely he was jaywalking because he admittedly was known to do so. He broke three ribs and seriously injured his back. Tesla would be bedridden for months while refusing to see a doctor, and on top of this would catch pneumonia, which would plague his health for the last 5 years of his life. I believe this accident and sickness would play a major role in the rapid decline of his health, both mentally and physically, and his goal of living past a century would never be realized.

Nikola Tesla had a unique and eccentric lifestyle and was known for his intense work habits, often spending long hours in his laboratory. So much so that his friends would seriously worry about his health. Financial difficulties were a recurring theme in his life, and he died in relative obscurity. Despite these challenges, Tesla's legacy is marked by his groundbreaking contributions to the field of electrical engineering.

An instructor at the University of Kansas has been placed on leave after a video on X showed him suggesting to his class that men who won't vote for a female president should be shot.

"(If you think) guys are smarter than girls, you've got some serious problems," the man in the video said. "That's what frustrates me. There are going to be some males in our society that will refuse to vote for a potential female president because they don't think females are smart enough to be president. We could line all those guys up and shoot them. They clearly don't understand the way the world works.

"Did I say that? Scratch that from the recording. I don't want the deans hearing that I said that."

The university confirmed the video was recorded during a class this semester.

"We are aware of the video, which was recorded during a class earlier this semester," said Erinn Barcomb-Peterson, a KU spokesperson. "The instructor is being placed on administrative leave, pending further investigation. The instructor offers his sincerest apologies and deeply regrets the situation. His intent was to emphasize his advocacy for women’s rights and equality, and he recognizes he did a very poor job of doing so. The university has an established process for situations like this and will follow that process."

In a similar statement on X, KU added that the comments "made an inappropriate reference to violence."

Who is the KU instructor in the video?

Barcomb-Peterson confirmed that Phil Lowcock is the instructor in the video.

Lowcock's name had been circulating on social media. His staff page on the KU Athletics website no longer exists, and at least one social media post by an athletics account that mentioned him — a staff highlight in April — has been deleted. As of Wednesday afternoon, he was still listed on the university's online directory as a lecturer.

The 2015 KU track and field media guide said Lowcock has taught at KU since 1984. As of 2015, he was an academic adviser for multiple athletics teams while doing support work for international student-athletes in addition to be an adjunct faculty member in the health, sport and exercise science department.

A request for comment sent to Lowcock's KU email account was not immediately returned.

Kansas Republican Party chair Mike Brown wrongly identified the speaker in a press release and now-deleted social media post as a journalism professor who retired in December 2019.

Kansas Regents oppose 'violent rhetoric'

The University of Kansas is under the Kansas Board of Regents, which oversees the state's public higher education institutions.

Blake Flanders, the KBOR president and CEO, said in a statement that he was aware of the video, and that the instructor was place on leave pending investigation by KU "in accordance with their established processes."

“The Board believes every American citizen has the right to vote how they see fit without fear of retribution or violence," Flanders said. "All of us, especially those in positions of authority, have a responsibility to respect and uphold that right. The Regents firmly oppose the use of violent rhetoric in our political discourse."

Free speech group calls for instructor's reinstatement

The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, an organization that promotes free speech by students and faculty on college campuses, called for KU "to refrain from punishing faculty for protected speech and to restore this instructor to the classroom immediately."

"The First Amendment protects professors who tell brief, off-topic jokes in the classroom," said Graham Piro, FIRE program officer, in a statement. "It also protects hyperbole. In order to constitute a true threat, a speaker must communicate a serious intent to commit an act of unlawful violence against a specific individual or a group of individuals.

"The viral video shows an instructor making an off-handed joke — not communicating a serious intent to commit unlawful violence. That's protected speech, and people advocating that the instructor be punished for his expression are advocating for the erosion of the First Amendment."

FIRE's 2025 college free speech rankings list KU's speech climate as "below average."

What Kansas politicians are saying about KU instructor's comments

The video was posted Wednesday morning by Ned Ryun, who works in conservative politics and is the son of former U.S. Rep. Jim Ryun, R-Kan., who was a KU track superstar.

"Seriously ⁦@UnivOfKansas⁩?" Ryun posted. "You're letting this be said in your classrooms? That men who won't vote for Kamala Harris for President should be lined up and shot?? ⁦@RogerMarshallMD⁩ ⁦@JerryMoran"

That post was shared on X by both U.S. Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Republican Attorney General Kris Kobach.

"KS Regents: We educate leaders, build communities, and make discoveries that change the world," Kobach said. "KU prof: Some males in our society will refuse to vote for a female prez, because they don't think females are smart enough to be Prez. We could line all those guys up and shoot them."

Marshall called for Lowcock's immediate firing.

"The University of Kansas must fire this professor immediately," Marshall said in a statement. "Anyone who says that people who don't vote for Kamala Harris should be 'lined up and shot' are completely deranged and shouldn't be around students nor in academia. This promotion of political violence should be met with quick action by KU."

In a post on X, U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., called the video "disturbing and inappropriate."

"There should never be a call for violence anytime or anywhere in the classroom," Moran added. "We must cool down the political rhetoric and be respectful and civil to each other, & that is especially true for someone charged with teaching our young people."

“While healthy political discourse is paramount to our democratic society, violent rhetoric is never acceptable," Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly said in a statement. "We must strive to make our classrooms a place where diverse viewpoints are respectfully discussed, and politics is not weaponized to make our students feel unsafe or demonized for having differing opinions. I appreciate the university’s swift action to address this matter."
