What makes long-term resistance-trained individuals so strong? A comparison of skeletal muscle morphology, architecture, and joint mechanics

TM Maden-Wilkinson, TG Balshaw… - Journal of applied …, 2020 - journals.physiology.org
The greater muscular strength of long-term resistance-trained (LTT) individuals is often
attributed to hypertrophy, but the role of other factors, notably maximum voluntary specific …

[HTML][HTML] Resistance training does not induce uniform adaptations to quadriceps

GT Mangine, MJ Redd, AM Gonzalez, JR Townsend… - PLoS …, 2018 - journals.plos.org

[HTML][HTML] Muscle fiber hypertrophy in response to 6 weeks of high-volume resistance training in trained young men is largely attributed to sarcoplasmic hypertrophy

CT Haun, CG Vann, SC Osburn, PW Mumford… - PloS one, 2019 - journals.plos.org
Cellular adaptations that occur during skeletal muscle hypertrophy in response to high-

Training-induced changes in structural and mechanical properties of the patellar tendon are related to muscle hypertrophy but not to strength gains

OR Seynnes, RM Erskine… - Journal of applied …, 2009 - journals.physiology.org
To obtain a better understanding of the adaptations of human tendon to chronic overloading,
we examined the relationships between these adaptations and the changes in muscle …

Differential adaptations to eccentric versus conventional resistance training in older humans

ND Reeves, CN Maganaris, S Longo… - Experimental …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
We hypothesized that training with eccentric contractions only (therefore using higher loads)
would yield greater muscle structural and strength gains compared with conventional …

The effects of resistance training to near failure on strength, hypertrophy, and motor unit adaptations in previously trained adults

BA Ruple, DL Plotkin, MA Smith, JS Godwin… - Physiological …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Limited research exists examining how resistance training to failure affects applied
outcomes and single motor unit characteristics in previously trained individuals. Herein …

[HTML][HTML] Are the hypertrophic adaptations to high and low-load resistance training muscle fiber type specific?

J Grgic, BJ Schoenfeld - Frontiers in physiology, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Skeletal muscle displays considerable biochemical complexity, physiological plasticity, and
cellular heterogeneity (Ohlendieck, 2010). It is well-recognized that resistance training (RT) …

Ultrastructural muscle damage in young vs. older men after high-volume, heavy-resistance strength training
