This review discusses previous literature that has examined the influence of muscular
strength on various factors associated with athletic performance and the benefits of …

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

Nova edição da obra dos renomados Fleck e Kraemer, Fundamentos do treinamento de
força muscular é referência indispensável para desenvolver programas de treinamento …

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

Muscle thickness (MT) measured by ultrasound has been used to estimate cross‐sectional
area (measured by CT and MRI) at a single time point. We tested whether MT could be used …

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

Eccentric contractions, characterized by the lengthening of the muscle-tendon complex,
present several unique features compared with other types of contractions, which may lead …

Hopping, skipping, jumping and sprinting are common tasks in both active play and
competitive sports. These movements utilise the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC), which is …

This series of reviews focuses on the most important neuromuscular function in many sport
performances, the ability to generate maximal muscular power. Part 1 focuses on the factors …

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