Aging is characterized by a progressive deterioration of physiological integrity, leading to
impaired functional ability and ultimately increased susceptibility to death. It is a major risk …

Energy metabolism is a basic and general process, by which the body acquires and uses
energy to maintain normal function, and taurine plays a vital role in energy metabolism …

Eccentric (ECC) exercise is classically used to improve muscle strength and power in
healthy subjects and athletes. Due to its specific physiological and mechanical properties …

This nonexhaustive mini-review reports on the application of eccentric exercise in various
rehabilitation populations. The two defining properties of eccentric muscle contractions—a …

Extreme or unaccustomed eccentric exercise can cause exercise-induced muscle damage,
characterized by structural changes involving sarcomere, cytoskeletal, and membrane …

This study compared nine resistance eccentric exercises targeting arm, leg, and trunk
muscles in one session for changes in maximal voluntary isometric contraction strength …

Background: It was recently reported that antioxidant supplementation decreases training
efficiency and prevents cellular adaptations to chronic exercise. Objective: This study aimed …

Purpose Cancer-induced muscle wasting (ie, cancer cachexia, CC) is a common and
devastating syndrome that results in the death of more than 1 in 5 patients. Although …

Skeletal muscle generates force by either shortening (concentrically) or lengthening
(eccentrically). Eccentric (ECC) exercise is characterized by a lower metabolic demand and …

There is emerging evidence suggesting that muscle growth is not homogeneous through the
muscle. The aim of the present study was to analyse the role of exercise selection in …
