Featured Student Commentary - Spring 2026:
 Caroline Donahue, Undergraduate, Exercise Physiology, 25-26 AHPRC Student Research Initiative awardee |
"Exercise Valence for Long-Term Exercise Adherence" (April 21, 2026), by Caroline Donahue - "Most U.S. adults fail to meet weekly exercise recommendations, which contributes to poor societal health outcomes. Improving exercise valence鈥攈ow a person feels toward exercise鈥攑romotes exercise engagement. Reducing pain by modulating exercise intensity is a promising strategy to improve exercise valence. Despite well-known benefits, only one in four adults in the U.S. meets aerobic exercise recommendations (150 minutes/week), contributing to poor societal health. While the factors related to exercise participation are complex, interventions aimed at improving feelings towards exercise (i.e., exercise valence) have been shown to contribute to long-term adherence." |
