Preserving skeletal muscle mass and functional capacity is essential for healthy ageing.
Transient periods of disuse and/or inactivity in combination with sub-optimal dietary intake …

The application of post-exercise cooling (eg, cold water immersion) and post-exercise
heating has become a popular intervention which is assumed to increase functional …

Skeletal muscle is an integral tissue system that plays a crucial role in the physical function
of all vertebrates and is a key target for maintaining or improving health and performance …

Background Egg protein is ingested during recovery from exercise to facilitate the
postexercise increase in muscle protein synthesis rates and, as such, to support the skeletal …

Muscle mass is balanced between hypertrophy and atrophy by cellular processes, including
activation of the protein kinase B-mechanistic target of rapamycin (Akt-mTOR) signaling …

• A cardinal manifestation of prolonged intense exercise, most notably activities that entail
eccentric muscle contractions, is a marked decline in muscle function. Muscle strength and …

Prolonged passive heat treatment (PHT) has been suggested to trigger skeletal muscle
adaptations that may improve muscle maintenance in older individuals. To assess the …

Purpose Following resistance exercise, uncertainty exists as to whether the regular
application of cold water immersion attenuates lean muscle mass increases in athletes. The …

Stable isotopes are routinely applied to determine the impact of factors such as aging,
disease, exercise, and feeding on whole-body protein metabolism. The most common …

Purpose Hot water immersion (HWI) has gained popularity to promote muscle recovery,
despite limited data on the optimal heat dose. The purpose of this study was to compare the …
