Mechanisms underlying mechanical overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy have
been extensively researched since the landmark report by Morpurgo (1897) of “work …

Osteoporosis and sarcopenia are diseases which affect the myoskeletal system and often
occur in older adults. They are characterized by low bone density and loss of muscle mass …

Human skeletal muscle demonstrates remarkable plasticity, adapting to numerous external
stimuli including the habitual level of contractile loading. Accordingly, muscle function and …

Muscle fatigue (MF) declines the capacity of muscles to complete a task over time at a
constant load. MF is usually short-lasting, reversible, and is experienced as a feeling of …

Proline substitutions within the coiled-coil rod region of the β-myosin gene (MYH7) are the
predominant mutations causing Laing distal myopathy (MPD1), an autosomal dominant …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the speed, agility, and explosive strength
performance of elite basketball players over an 8-week plyometric training program. Fifteen …

Fgf21 has been identified as playing a regulatory role in muscle growth and function.
Although the mechanisms through which endurance training regulates skeletal muscle have …

In this review, we discuss the interaction of mechanical factors influencing knee
osteoarthritis (KOA) and post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) pathogenesis. Emphasizing the …

Hibernation is a period of metabolic suppression utilized by many small and large mammal
species to survive during winter periods. As the underlying cellular and molecular …

Muscle fiber composition is associated with physical performance, with endurance athletes
having a high proportion of slow-twitch muscle fibers compared to power athletes …
