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 …

Skeletal muscle satellite cells are considered to play a crucial role in muscle fiber
maintenance, repair and remodeling. Our knowledge of the role of satellite cells in muscle …

Societies are progressively aging, with the oldest old (ie., those aged> 80–85 years) being
the most rapidly expanding population segment. However, advanced aging comes at a …

Blood flow restriction (BFR) is an expanding rehabilitation modality that uses a tourniquet to
reduce arterial inflow and occlude venous outflow in the setting of resistance training or …

Satellite cells (SCs) are the most abundant skeletal muscle stem cells. They are widely
recognized for their contributions to maintenance of muscle mass, regeneration and …

It is generally believed that optimal hypertrophic and strength gains are induced through
moderate-or high-intensity resistance training, equivalent to at least 60% of an individual's 1 …

PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of blood flow restricted resistance exercise (BFRRE)
on myofiber areas (MFA), number of myonuclei and satellite cells (SC), muscle size and …

Background More than 2 million anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur worldwide
each year. Most surgeons suggest that athletes and active persons with significant knee …

Previously trained mouse muscles acquire strength and volume faster than naïve muscles; it
has been suggested that this is related to increased myonuclear density. The present study …
