The main aim of the study was to compare the peak surface electromyography (sEMG)
amplitude of muscles during low and high loaded bench press exercises performed to …

The regular practice of resistance training (RT) has been shown to induce relevant
increases in both muscle strength and size. In order to maximize these adaptations, the …

Purpose Considerable debate exists as to whether increases in strength that occur with
resistance exercise are the result of increases in muscle size. Most studies have attempted …

Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability and one of the most common reasons
for physician visits in primary care, with a 33% rate of recurrence during the first year …

Purpose Discrepancies regarding the effect of resistance exercise training (RET) on arterial
stiffness have led to uncertainty regarding the effect of RET on cardiovascular health …

It has been proposed that superior muscle hypertrophy may be obtained by training muscles
predominant in type I fibers with lighter loads and those predominant in type II fibers with …

Objectives Strength training is widely recommended to improve strength, muscle mass and
power. However, the feasibility and potential efficacy of strength training using lighter loads …

Generally, skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise are perceived through a dichotomous
lens where the metabolic stress imposed by aerobic training leads to increased …
