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 …

In this review we integrate the scientific literature and results-proven practice and outline a
novel framework for understanding the training and development of elite long-distance …

Background Obesity causes frailty in older adults; however, weight loss might accelerate
age-related loss of muscle and bone mass and resultant sarcopenia and osteopenia …

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 …

Abstract Background and Objective Meta-analysis and meta-regression are often highly
cited and may influence practice. Unfortunately, statistical errors in meta-analyses are …

Specificity is a core principle of exercise training to promote the desired adaptations for
maximising athletic performance. The principle of specificity of adaptation is underpinned by …

Objective To identify the optimal exercise program, characterized by type and intensity of
exercise, length of program, duration of individual supervised sessions, and number of …

Background Both athletes and recreational exercisers often perform relatively high volumes
of aerobic and strength training simultaneously. However, the compatibility of these two …

Background Middle-and long-distance running performance is constrained by several
