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

Ultrasound (US) imaging has been widely used in both research and clinical settings to
evaluate the morphological and mechanical properties of muscle and tendon. In elite sports …

Key points Few days of unloading are sufficient to induce a decline of skeletal muscle mass
and function; notably, contractile force is lost at a faster rate than muscle mass. The reasons …

Aims The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of hamstring eccentric (NHE)
strength training versus sprint training programmed as complements to regular soccer …

The greater muscular strength of long-term resistance-trained (LTT) individuals is often
attributed to hypertrophy, but the role of other factors, notably maximum voluntary specific …

PURPOSE To compare biceps femoris long-head (BFlh) fascicle lengths (Lfs) obtained with
different ultrasound-based approaches: 1) single ultrasound images and linear Lf …

Background Eccentric training, such as Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) training, is
commonly used as a preventive measure for hamstring strains. Eccentric training is believed …

Stretch training is widely used in a variety of fitness‐related capacities such as increasing
joint range of motion, preventing contractures and alleviating injuries. Moreover, some …

The aim of the present study was to analyse the role of exercises' resistance profile in
regional hypertrophy. Thirty-eight healthy women completed a 9-week resistance training …
