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 …

Purpose This study aimed to analyze the effect of resistance training (RT) performed until
volitional failure with low, moderate, and high loads on muscle hypertrophy and muscle …

The bias towards excluding women from exercise science research is often due to the
assumption that cyclical fluctuations in reproductive hormones influence resistance exercise …

Abstract Schoenfeld, BJ, Grgic, J, Ogborn, D, and Krieger, JW. Strength and hypertrophy
adaptations between low-vs. high-load resistance training: a systematic review and meta …

Males enjoy physical performance advantages over females within competitive sport. The
sex-based segregation into male and female sporting categories does not account for …

Human skeletal muscle demonstrates remarkable plasticity, adapting to numerous external
stimuli including the habitual level of contractile loading. Accordingly, muscle function and …

Loss of muscle proteins is a deleterious consequence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) that
causes a decrease in muscle strength and function, and can lead to a reduction in quality of …

Background Low-load resistance training (< 50% of one-repetition maximum [1RM])
associated with blood-flow restriction (BFR-RT) has been thought to promote increases in …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a popular research tool in sport and rehabilitation
