Sarcopenia is a generalised skeletal muscle disorder characterised by reduced muscle
strength and mass and associated with a range of negative health outcomes. Currently …

Rating of perceived effort (RPE) scales are the most frequently used single-item scales in
exercise science. They offer an easy and useful way to monitor and prescribe exercise …

Background The proximity to failure in which sets are terminated has gained attention in the
scientific literature as a potentially key resistance training variable. Multiple meta-analyses …

Muscle strength is often measured through the performance of a one-repetition maximum
(1RM). However, we that feel a true measurement of 'strength'remains elusive. For example …

Background Rest interval (RI) duration is an important resistance-training variable
underlying gain in muscular strength. Recommendations for optimal RI duration for gains in …

Background Increases in muscular strength may increase sports performance, reduce injury
risk, are associated with a plethora of health markers, as well as exerting positive …

Muscle quality (MQ), defined as the amount of strength and/or power per unit of muscle
mass, is a novel index of functional capacity that is increasingly relied upon as a critical …

Purpose Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass combined with the loss of muscle function,
has become a public health issue. There is an urgent need for interventions. The study …

Dynamic resistance exercise (DRT) might be the most promising agent for fighting
sarcopenia in older people. However, the positive effect of DRT on osteopenia/osteoporosis …

Background Prescribing repetitions relative to task failure is an emerging approach to
resistance training. Under this approach, participants terminate the set based on their …
