Age is a primary risk factor for a number of chronic diseases including mobility disability,
cardiovascular disease (CVD), type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cancer. Most physical activity …

Resistance training (RT) is the only non-pharmacological intervention known to consistently
improve, and therefore offset age-related declines in, skeletal muscle mass, strength, and …

Resistance training is frequently performed with the goal of stimulating muscle hypertrophy.
Due to the key roles motor unit recruitment and mechanical tension play to induce muscle …

Objective In this review, we critically evaluate studies directly comparing the effects of
plyometric vs. resistance training on skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Methods We conducted …

It is well established that exercise is associated with a reduced risk of several chronic
diseases. Currently, aerobic training (AT) receives primary attention in physical activity …

One of the common traits found in cancer patients is malnutrition and cachexia, which affects
between 25% to 60% of the patients, depending on the type of cancer, diagnosis, and …

Background Whole muscle hypertrophy does not appear to be negatively affected by
concurrent aerobic and strength training compared to strength training alone. However …

Aerobic training (AT) is suggested to be an effective anti-aging strategy for skin aging.
However, the respective effects of resistance training (RT) have not been studied. Therefore …

ABSTRACT Introduction: Lower-load (LL), higher-repetition resistance exercise training
(RET) can increase muscle mass similar degree as higher-load (HL), lower-repetition RET …

The ability of skeletal muscle to adapt to repeated contractile stimuli is one of the most
intriguing aspects of physiology. The molecular bases underpinning these adaptations …
