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 …

Background Resistance training is an integral component of physical preparation for
athletes. A growing body of evidence indicates that eccentric strength training methods …

Background Self-myofascial release (SMFR) is a type of myofascial release performed by
the individual themselves rather than by a clinician, typically using a tool. Objectives To …

Key points Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is one of the main outcomes from resistance training
(RT), but how it is modulated throughout training is still unknown. We show that changes in …

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 …

It is well established that regimented resistance training can promote increases in muscle
hypertrophy. The prevailing body of research indicates that mechanical stress is the primary …

Aim We investigated architectural, functional and molecular responses of human skeletal
muscle to concentric (CON) or eccentric (ECC) resistance training (RT). Methods Twelve …

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 …

New Findings What is the topic of this review? This is the first review to look across the broad
field of 'cold water immersion'and to determine the threats and benefits associated with it as …

The purpose of this review was to provide a physiological rationale for the use of eccentric
resistance training and to provide an overview of the most commonly prescribed eccentric …
