perimeter = 0.524 Km = 0.3256 miles
5 miles/0.3256 miles = 15.4 laps

5 miles @ 3.5 miles/hour = 86 minutes

As a general rule of thumb, a pound of fat contains around 3,500 calories.
Most rough estimates revolve around 100 calories burned per mile for a 180-pound person.
The average walking speed is about 3 miles per hour

Cathepsin B ties exercise to memory

Running-Induced Systemic Cathepsin B Secretion Is Associated with Memory Function
Cell Metabolism. 2016. In press.
Hyo Youl Moon, et al.
http://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(16)30247-9
Highlights:

  • Proteomics of AICAR-treated L6 muscle cells reveals myokine cathepsin B (CTSB)
  • Exercise increases CTSB levels in mouse, monkey, and human plasma
  • Running does not improve memory or adult neurogenesis in CTSB knockout mice
  • CTSB enhances neurotrophin levels in adult hippocampal progenitor cells
  • In humans, plasma CTSB levels are positively correlated with fitness and memory

Prevention of Low Back Pain

Prevention of Low Back Pain
A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
JAMA Intern Med. 2016;176(2):199-208.
Daniel Steffens, et al.
http://archinte.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2481158

Conclusion and Relevance:  The current evidence suggests that exercise alone or in combination with education is effective for preventing LBP. Other interventions, including education alone, back belts, and shoe insoles, do not appear to prevent LBP. Whether education, training, or ergonomic adjustments prevent sick leave is uncertain because the quality of evidence is low.

The Treadmill Desk

Sure, Use A Treadmill Desk — But You Still Need To Exercise
March 30, 2015
http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2015/03/30/392580747/sure-use-a-treadmill-desk-but-you-still-need-to-exercise

Federal guidelines recommend 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every week.
http://www.health.gov/paguidelines/guidelines/summary.aspx
That’s walking about 3 miles per hour. Schuna says that’s difficult on a treadmill desk — while working. If you tried to maintain that pace, “you’d likely start to perspire; some people may even start to have more labored or heavy breathing,” he says, and “it’s questionable how productive you could be from a work perspective.”

Defy Impossible. Steve Ilardi is a clinical researcher with a passionate interest in improving treatment for mental illness. Steve is also the author of “The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Program to Beat Depression Without Drugs.”

Together with his research team, he has developed a novel program for clinical depression based on the premise that humans were not designed for modern life.

This treatment program – Therapeutic Lifestyle Change – has proven to be highly promising in preliminary trials, and has already been adopted by clinicians in over a dozen countries.

Steve also does statistical analysis for the NBA (most recently with the Phoenix Suns).
