While strength is indeed a skill, most discussions have primarily considered structural
adaptations rather than ultrastructural augmentation to improve performance. Altering the …

We evaluated the effects of higher-load (HL) versus (lower-load) higher-volume (HV)
resistance training on skeletal muscle hypertrophy, strength, and muscle-level molecular …

Abstract Aim Skeletal muscles of Body Builders (BB) represent an interesting model to study
muscle mass gains in response to high volume resistance training. It is debated whether …

There is a popular belief that meat consumption is necessary to optimize adaptations to
strength training (ST), but evidence to support this hypothesis is scarce. Therefore, this study …

The authors aimed to compare the effects of creatine (Cr) supplementation combined with
resistance training on skeletal muscle mass (SMM), total body water, intracellular water …

Several published protocols exist for isolating contractile or myofibrillar (MF) proteins from
skeletal muscle, however, achieving complete resuspension of the myofibril pellet can be …

Abstract Spiering, BA, Clark, BC, Schoenfeld, BJ, Foulis, SA, and Pasiakos, SM. Maximizing
strength: the stimuli and mediators of strength gains and their application to training and …

Skeletal muscle is the organ of locomotion, its optimal function is critical for athletic
performance, and is also important for health due to its contribution to resting metabolic rate …

To describe the possible effects of chronic specific exercise training, the present study
compared the anthropometric variables, muscle–tendon unit (MTU) architecture, passive …

ABSTRACT The Myostatin/Activin branch of the TGF-β superfamily acts as a negative
regulator of vertebrate skeletal muscle size, in part, through downregulation of insulin/insulin …
