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

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

Skeletal muscle represents the largest body-composition component in humans. In addition
to its primary function in the maintenance of upright posture and the production of …

One of the most striking adaptations to exercise is the skeletal muscle hypertrophy that
occurs in response to resistance exercise. A large body of work shows that a mammalian …

Diabetes represents a major public health concern with a considerable impact on human life
and healthcare expenditures. It is now well established that diabetes is characterized by a …

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

Skeletal muscle plays a critical role in physical function and metabolic health. Muscle is a
highly adaptable tissue that responds to resistance exercise (RE; loading) by …

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 …

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

Key points Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is one of the main outcomes from resistance training
(RT), but how it is modulated throughout training is still unknown. We show that changes in …
