Cardiopulmonary fitness but not muscular fitness associated with visceral adipose tissue mass

ByThe Short Paper

Article

They took 99 overweight/obese participants were assessed for cardio and muscular fitness.  Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue were measured with a CT scan and measured cardio and muscular fitness. They found that cardio fitness and not muscular fitness was associated with visceral adipose tissue decreased. However, age, cardio fitness, and muscular fitness were associated with decreased subcutaneous tissue. Cardio and muscular fitness are both associated with reduced subcutaneous adipose tissue.

TL;DR Visceral adipose tissue was more positively affected more by cardio versus weight lifting, but subcutaneous adipose tissue was affected by muscular and cardio fitness

Climate warming increases extreme daily wildfire growth risk in California

ByThe Short Paper

Climate warming makes extreme daily wildfires more likely in California. The study focuses on wildfires in California, which have become more extreme in recent years. While climate change plays a role, it’s hard to measure how much. Using machine learning, the researchers found that temperature affects wildfire risk mainly by drying out the fuel (vegetation)….
