Adults with stage 1 hypertension who practiced baduanjin—an eight-movement Chinese mind-body routine—had modest but measurable reductions in systolic blood pressure over three months that were maintained at one year, with results comparable to brisk walking, according to a randomized trial published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
A six-month study of more than 120 healthy adults in their 70s found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) reduced body fat while maintaining lean muscle. Moderate- and low-intensity programs also produced modest fat loss, but moderate training was linked to a small decline in lean muscle.

The Philippine consulate general in Honolulu welcomed the arrival of naval and coast guard ships for the Rim of the Pacific Exercise 2026. The vessels docked in Pearl Harbor on June 24 ahead of the drills running until July 31.
Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, have discovered a mechanism by which exercise helps protect the brain from age-related damage associated with Alzheimer's disease. Physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that repairs the blood-brain barrier, reducing inflammation and improving memory in older mice. The findings, published in the journal Cell, highlight a body-to-brain pathway that could lead to new therapies.

A new Cochrane Library review of dozens of trials confirms that regular exercise can alleviate depression symptoms as effectively as antidepressants or cognitive behavioral therapy. Even light activities like walking may provide significant benefits. Researchers analyzed nearly 5,000 adults with depression, finding moderate reductions in symptoms across various exercise types.
