(CNN) — Cada vez hay más pruebas de que aumentar la fuerza muscular puede ser beneficioso para el corazón e incluso mejorar la evolución tras un infarto.Tener un mayor nivel de fuerza muscular en las piernas parece estar “fuertemente asociado” con un menor riesgo de desarrollar insuficiencia cardíaca después de un ataque al corazón, según una nueva investigación presentada este mes en Praga en el congreso científico Heart Failure 2023, de la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología.Los resultados no se han publicado en una revista revisada por expertos, pero ponen de relieve la importancia del ejercicio regular y el mantenimiento de la fuerza muscular en la tercera edad, ya que la masa muscular puede disminuir con la edad, lo que posiblemente afecte a la salud cardiovascular, señalaron Kensuke Ueno y el Dr. Kentaro Kamiya, investigadores del Departamento de Rehabilitación de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Kitasato (Japón) y autores de la nueva inve...

Now it’s only fair that he does what he wants to do.”In his second season at Napoli, the 64-year-old Spalletti coached the team to its first Serie A title in 33 years. They won with five rounds to spare.Spalletti still has one more m...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:21:58 GMT

When the Celtics went down in an 0-3 series hole last week in the Eastern Conference Finals, they were in need of some inspiration.They turned to the Red Sox.The C’s looked hopeless. They were in a spot no team in NBA history had overcome in 150 tries. It was the same position the Red Sox found themselves in 2004, when they roared back from an 0-3 deficit to beat the rival Yankees in the ALCS, the first time it had been done in MLB history.So, after their Game 3 loss in Miami, and sometime before Game 4, the Celtics got together and watched ESPN’s “Four Days in October” documentary, which chronicled the Red Sox’ historic comeback.“It was beautiful,” Marcus Smart said Monday morning at Celtics shootaround. “It was definitely special to watch, special to witness and to be able to have an opportunity to go out there and have our own 2004 ride.”The Celtics, of course, reeled off three consecutive victories to give themselves a chance at the same history on Monday night at TD Garden.

Pour one out for the Roy siblings, who take their leave of the TV landscape as unhappy and misguided as they were when “Succession” premiered on HBO in 2018.The show became an obsession for many, inviting audiences into an inner sanctum of lavish settings and private planes at their beck and call — and where viperous family dynamics reigned supreme. Sometimes the violence was literal, like a prestige Punch and Judy show — it certainly looked like Kendall was about to gouge his brother’s eyes in the finale’s eleventh-hour showdown — becoming a physical manifestation of the spiritual violence they were forever inflicting upon one another.Their excessive net worth was handed down to them by Daddy. Their magnificent incompetence? Courtesy of Daddy, as well. Logan Roy’s real legacy wasn’t the billion dollar corporation he built, but the sons and a daughter he dumped into the world like a carton of battered, unwanted dolls missing tufts of hair. Congratulations?The show’s driving force wa...
