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

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 …

The α7β1-integrin is a transmembrane adhesion protein that connects laminin in the
extracellular matrix (ECM) with actin in skeletal muscle fibers. The α7β1-integrin is highly …

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 …

Transcriptome wide changes in human skeletal muscle after acute (anabolic) and chronic
resistance exercise (RE) induced hypertrophy have been extensively determined in the …

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 exercise increases muscle fascicle lengths; however, the
mechanisms behind this adaptation are still unknown. This study aimed to determine …

Numerous reports suggest there are low and high skeletal muscle hypertrophic responders
following weeks to months of structured resistance exercise training (referred to as low and …

Resistance exercise training (RET) is well-known to counteract negative age-related
changes in both muscle and tendon tissue. Traditional RET consists of both concentric …

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 …
