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

Considerable inter‐individual heterogeneity exists in the muscular adaptations to resistance
training. It has been proposed that fast‐twitch fibres are more sensitive to hypertrophic …

The effects of low-load resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR) on hypertrophy of
type I/II myofibers remains unclear, especially in females. The purpose of the present study …

We recently reported that vastus lateralis (VL) cross‐sectional area (CSA) increases after 7
weeks of resistance training (RT, 2 days/week), with declines occurring following 7 weeks of …

We investigated the effects of performing a period of resistance training (RT) on the
performance and molecular adaptations to a subsequent period of endurance training (ET) …

Muscle morphological architecture, a crucial determinant of muscle function, has fascinated
researchers since the Renaissance. Imaging techniques enable the assessment of …

Background & aims Ultrasound can be used to measure the pennation angle between
muscle fiver and the presumed axis of force generation and muscle echogenicity as an …

Trained individuals may require variations in training stimuli and advanced resistance
training paradigms (ADV) to increase skeletal muscle hypertrophy. However, no meta …

Multiple intramuscular variables have been proposed to explain the high variability in
resistance training induced muscle hypertrophy across humans. This study investigated if …

The sarcomere is the fundamental contractile unit in skeletal muscle, and the regularity of its
structure is critical for function. Emerging data demonstrates that nanoscale changes to the …
