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

Purpose This study aimed to analyze the effect of resistance training (RT) performed until
volitional failure with low, moderate, and high loads on muscle hypertrophy and muscle …

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

Hypertrophy can be operationally defined as an increase in the axial cross-sectional area of
a muscle fiber or whole muscle, and is due to increases in the size of pre-existing muscle …

Local Endurance: A Re-Examination of the Repetition Continuum Next Article in Journal …

Extracellular matrix (ECM) structures within skeletal muscle play an important, but under-
appreciated, role in muscle development, function and adaptation. Each individual muscle is …

Background Acute protein turnover studies suggest lower anabolic response after ingestion
of plant vs. animal proteins. However, the effects of an exclusively plant-based protein diet …

Key points Performing resistance exercise with heavier loads is often proposed to be
necessary for the recruitment of larger motor units and activation of type II muscle fibres …

Skeletal muscle hypertrophy can be induced by hormones and growth factors acting directly
as positive regulators of muscle growth or indirectly by neutralizing negative regulators, and …

Exercise training in combination with optimal nutritional support is an effective strategy to
maintain or increase skeletal muscle mass. A single bout of resistance exercise undertaken …
