Purpose The aim of this umbrella review was to determine the impact of resistance training
(RT) and individual RT prescription variables on muscle mass, strength, and physical …

Sarcopenia is a generalised skeletal muscle disorder characterised by reduced muscle
strength and mass and associated with a range of negative health outcomes. Currently …

Skeletal muscle contracts either by shortening or lengthening (concentrically or
eccentrically, respectively); however, the two contractions substantially differ from one …

Background Resistance training (RT) is an intervention frequently used to improve muscle
strength and morphology in old age. However, evidence-based, dose–response …

Background Resistance training is an integral component of physical preparation for
athletes. A growing body of evidence indicates that eccentric strength training methods …

Muscle thickness (MT) measured by ultrasound has been used to estimate cross‐sectional
area (measured by CT and MRI) at a single time point. We tested whether MT could be used …

It has traditionally been believed that resistance training can only induce muscle growth
when the exercise intensity is greater than 65% of the 1-repetition maximum (RM). However …

High-intensity horizontal decelerations occur frequently in team sports and are typically
performed to facilitate a reduction in momentum preceding a change of direction manoeuvre …

Methods We identified five errors in one highly cited meta-regression from strength and
conditioning research: implausible outliers; overestimated effect sizes that arise from …

Eccentric contractions, characterized by the lengthening of the muscle-tendon complex,
present several unique features compared with other types of contractions, which may lead …
