Repeated, episodic bouts of skeletal muscle contraction undertaken frequently as structured
exercise training are a potent stimulus for physiological adaptation in many organs …

Background: Effective hypertrophy-oriented resistance training (RT) should comprise a
combination of mechanical tension and metabolic stress. Regarding training variables, the …

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

One of the most striking adaptations to exercise is the skeletal muscle hypertrophy that
occurs in response to resistance exercise. A large body of work shows that a mammalian …

In this overview, we summarize the findings of the literature with regards to physiology and
pathophysiology of ultra-marathon running. The number of ultra-marathon races and the …

Skeletal muscle is highly adaptable and has consistently been shown to morphologically
respond to exercise training. Skeletal muscle growth during periods of resistance training …

There have been a multitude of reviews written on exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD)
and recovery. EIMD is a complex area of study as there are a host of factors such as sex …

Abstract Stone, MH, Hornsby, WG, Haff, GG, Fry, AC, Suarez, DG, Liu, J, Gonzalez-Rave, JM,
and Pierce, KC. Periodization and block periodization in sports: emphasis on strength-power …

Background: In animal studies long-term stretching interventions up to several hours per day
have shown large increases in muscle mass as well as maximal strength. The aim of this …

In the last few years, the muscular system has gained attention due to the discovery of the
muscle-secretome and its high potency for retaining or regaining health. These cytokines …
