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

Hormones are largely responsible for the integrated communication of several physiological
systems responsible for modulating cellular growth and development. Although the specific …

Sex differences in exercise physiology, such as substrate metabolism and skeletal muscle
fatigability, stem from inherent biological factors, including endogenous hormones and …

Testosterone is one of the most potent naturally secreted androgenicanabolic hormones,
and its biological effects include promotion of muscle growth. In muscle, testosterone …

Maintenance of skeletal muscle mass throughout the life course is key for the regulation of
health, with physical activity a critical component of this, in part, due to its influence upon key …

The complexity and redundancy of the endocrine pathways during recovery related to
anabolic function in the body belie an oversimplistic approach to its study. The purpose of …

Science and Development of Muscle Hypertrophy, Second Edition, is the most
comprehensive resource on muscle hypertrophy in the world. Written by Brad Schoenfeld …

The aim of our study was to determine whether resistance exercise-induced elevations in
endogenous hormones enhance muscle strength and hypertrophy with training. Twelve …

Background Many sports require maximal strength and endurance performance. Concurrent
strength and endurance training can lead to suboptimal training adaptations. However, how …

The aim of this review is to highlight two emerging concepts for the elite athlete using the
resistance-training model:(i) the short-term effects of testosterone (T) and cortisol (C) on the …
