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

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 …

Concurrent training is defined as simultaneously incorporating both resistance and
endurance exercise within a periodized training regime. Despite the potential additive …

Key points Cold water immersion is a popular strategy to recover from exercise. However,
whether regular cold water immersion influences muscle adaptations to strength training is …

Sarcopenia is the decline of muscle mass and strength with age. Evidence suggests that
oxidative stress and molecular inflammation play important roles in age-related muscle …

The loss of skeletal muscle mass during aging, sarcopenia, increases the risk for falls and
dependence. Resistance exercise (RE) is an effective rehabilitation technique that can …

The plasticity of skeletal muscle can be traced down to extensive metabolic, structural and
molecular remodeling at the single fiber level. Skeletal muscle is comprised of different fiber …

We investigated how myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle anabolic signalling
were affected by resistance exercise at 20–90% of 1 repetition maximum (1 RM) in two …

Skeletal muscle is a malleable tissue capable of altering the type and amount of protein in
response to disruptions to cellular homeostasis. The process of exerciseinduced adaptation …
