Resistance training (RT) is the only non-pharmacological intervention known to consistently
improve, and therefore offset age-related declines in, skeletal muscle mass, strength, and …

Background Current recommendations on resistance training (RT) frequency for gains in
muscular strength are based on extrapolations from limited evidence on the topic, and thus …

Hypertrophy can be operationally defined as an increase in the axial cross-sectional area of
a muscle fiber or whole muscle, and is due to increases in the size of pre-existing muscle …

Background During the aging process, physical capabilities (eg, muscular strength) and
cognitive functions (eg, memory) gradually decrease. Regarding cognitive functions …

Training frequency is considered an important variable in the hypertrophic response to
regimented resistance exercise. The purpose of this paper was to conduct a systematic …

All nations which have undergone a nutrition transition have experienced increased
frequency and falling latency of chronic degenerative diseases, which are largely driven by …

Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy, Second Edition, is the most
comprehensive resource on muscle hypertrophy in the world. Written by Brad Schoenfeld …

Background Findings from original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses have
demonstrated the effectiveness of resistance training (RT) on markers of performance and …

Background The reactive strength index (RSI) is meaningfully associated with independent
markers of athletic (eg, linear sprint speed) and neuromuscular performance [eg, stretch …

An individual's training status is a key factor used to determine the volume, the intensity, and
the selection of exercises for resistance training prescription. Interestingly, there are no …
