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 …

Background Current recommendations on resistance training (RT) frequency for gains in
muscular strength are based on extrapolations from limited evidence on the topic, and thus …

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 …

Background Strength training set organisation and its relationship to the development of
muscular strength have yet to be clearly defined. Current meta-analytical research suggests …

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 …

Hypertrophy and strength are two common long-term goals of resistance training that are
mediated by the manipulation of numerous variables. One training variable that is often …

Background Increases in muscular strength may increase sports performance, reduce injury
risk, are associated with a plethora of health markers, as well as exerting positive …

Muscle quality (MQ), defined as the amount of strength and/or power per unit of muscle
mass, is a novel index of functional capacity that is increasingly relied upon as a critical …

Purpose To determine if muscle growth is important for increasing muscle strength or if
changes in strength can be entirely explained from practicing the strength test. Methods …

When restricting blood flow for the purpose of increasing or maintaining muscle fitness, the
aim is to reduce the amount of arterial flow into the limb and restrict the venous flow out of …
