Background: Effective hypertrophy-oriented resistance training (RT) should comprise a
combination of mechanical tension and metabolic stress. Regarding training variables, the …

One of the most striking adaptations to exercise is the skeletal muscle hypertrophy that
occurs in response to resistance exercise. A large body of work shows that a mammalian …

The purpose of this paper was to systematically review the current literature and elucidate
the effects of total weekly resistance training (RT) volume on changes in measures of muscle …

It has traditionally been believed that resistance training can only induce muscle growth
when the exercise intensity is greater than 65% of the 1-repetition maximum (RM). However …

A growing body of evidence supports the use of moderate blood flow restriction (BFR)
combined with low-load resistance exercise to enhance hypertrophic and strength …

There have been a multitude of reviews written on exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD)
and recovery. EIMD is a complex area of study as there are a host of factors such as sex …

Societies are progressively aging, with the oldest old (ie., those aged> 80–85 years) being
the most rapidly expanding population segment. However, advanced aging comes at a …

Skeletal muscle plays a critical role in physical function and metabolic health. Muscle is a
highly adaptable tissue that responds to resistance exercise (RE; loading) by …

The purpose of the present study was to perform a meta‐analysis to compare the efficacy of
heavy (∼ 80% of one repetition maximum, 1 RM) vs light‐moderate load (∼ 45% 1 RM) …

Resistance exercise is difficult to quantify owing to its inherent complexity with numerous
training variables contributing to the training dose (type of exercise, load lifted, training …
