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

The maintenance of skeletal muscle mass plays a critical role in health and quality of life.
One of the most potent regulators of skeletal muscle mass is mechanical loading, and …

Skeletal muscle plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of physical and metabolic health
and, critically, mobility. Accordingly, strategies focused on increasing the quality and quantity …

Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous tissue that exhibits numerous inter-and intramuscular
differences (ie, architecture, fiber composition, and muscle function). An individual muscle …

The question whether the muscle hypertrophy induced by resistance training, hormone
administration or genetic manipulation is accompanied by a proportional increase in muscle …

The onset of whole muscle hypertrophy in response to overloading is poorly documented.
The purpose of this study was to assess the early changes in muscle size and architecture …

Numerous reports suggest there are low and high skeletal muscle hypertrophic responders
following weeks to months of structured resistance exercise training (referred to as low and …

In this paper we revisit a topic originally discussed in 1955, namely the lack of direct
evidence that muscle hypertrophy from exercise plays an important role in increasing …

Mechanisms underlying mechanical overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy have
been extensively researched since the landmark report by Morpurgo (1897) of “work …

Skeletal muscle contracts either by shortening or lengthening (concentrically or
eccentrically, respectively); however, the two contractions substantially differ from one …
