Background: Limb muscle dysfunction is prevalent in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) and it has important clinical implications, such as reduced exercise tolerance …

Mammalian skeletal muscle comprises different fiber types, whose identity is first established
during embryonic development by intrinsic myogenic control mechanisms and is later …

Abstract Schoenfeld, BJ, Peterson, MD, Ogborn, D, Contreras, B, and Sonmez, GT. Effects of
low-vs. high-load resistance training on muscle strength and hypertrophy in well-trained …

It is well established that regimented resistance training can promote increases in muscle
hypertrophy. The prevailing body of research indicates that mechanical stress is the primary …

Muscle glycogen is the main substrate during high-intensity exercise and large reductions
can occur after relatively short durations. Moreover, muscle glycogen is stored …

Lactate or gas exchange threshold (GET) and critical power (CP) are closely associated with
human exercise performance. We tested the hypothesis that the limit of tolerance (Tlim) …

The duration that exercise can be maintained decreases as the power requirements
increase. In this review, we describe the power–duration (PD) relationship across the full …

Studies performed at the beginning of the last century revealed the importance of
carbohydrate as a fuel during exercise, and the importance of muscle glycogen on …

Contractile and energetic properties of human skeletal muscle have been studied for many
years in vivo in the body. It has been, however, difficult to identify the specific role of muscle …

We tested the hypothesis that the asymptote of the hyperbolic relationship between work
rate and time to exhaustion during muscular exercise, the “critical power”(CP), represents …
