Skeletal muscle is highly adaptable and has consistently been shown to morphologically
respond to exercise training. Skeletal muscle growth during periods of resistance training …

Skeletal muscle fibers are multinucleated cells that contain mostly myofibrils suspended in
an aqueous media termed the sarcoplasm. Select evidence suggests sarcoplasmic …

Cellular adaptations that occur during skeletal muscle hypertrophy in response to high-
volume resistance training are not well-characterized. Therefore, we sought to explore how …

Protein synthesis is deemed the underpinning mechanism enhancing protein balance
required for skeletal muscle hypertrophy in response to resistance exercise. The current …

Muscle cells (fibres) are post-mitotic and thus undergo changes in phenotype by modifying
their existing structure. Hypertrophy is a hallmark change that occurs in response to …

The primary focus of this commentary is to discuss the relationship between training-induced
increases in muscle size (ie, hypertrophy) and changes in strength. Recently, Buckner et al …

Skeletal muscle displays considerable biochemical complexity, physiological plasticity, and
cellular heterogeneity (Ohlendieck, 2010). It is well-recognized that resistance training (RT) …

Current dogma suggests that aerobic exercise training has minimal effects on skeletal
muscle size. We and others have demonstrated that aerobic exercise acutely and …

Normally, skeletal muscle mass is unchanged, beyond periods of growth, but it begins to
decline in the fourth or fifth decade of life. The mass of skeletal muscle is maintained by …

Resistance training (RT)-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy is a highly intricate process.
Despite substantial advances, we are far from understanding exactly how muscle …
