Surface chemical transformation of PET-based microplastics by kaolin exposure under simulated aquatic conditions

Environmental context Plastic waste in water is not inert and it can change over time. This study shows that when certain plastics encounter natural clay minerals like kaolin, their surfaces can be altered. These changes may affect how plastics behave in the environment, includin...

Effects of a Suspension Training Warm-Up on Maximal Cardiopulmonary Exercise Performance in Highly Active Adults: A Randomized Crossover Trial

Background and Objectives: Warm-up before cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) typically includes low-intensity aerobic activity. Whether a dynamic suspension-training warm-up represents a comparable alternative remains unknown. This study compared the cardiopulmonary response...
