The prevalence of obesity in combination with sarcopenia (the age-related loss of muscle
mass and strength or physical function) is increasing in adults aged 65 years and older. A …

The world population is ageing rapidly. As society ages, the incidence of physical limitations
is dramatically increasing, which reduces the quality of life and increases healthcare …

Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is characterized by symptoms that present both
immediately and for up to 14 days after the initial exercise bout. The main consequence of …

BACKGROUND: The loss of skeletal muscle mass with aging has been attributed to a
decline in muscle fiber number and muscle fiber size. OBJECTIVE: To define to what extent …

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 …

An eccentric contraction involves the active lengthening of muscle under an external load.
The molecular and neural mechanisms underpinning eccentric contractions differ from those …

Exercise-induced muscle damage is an important topic in exercise physiology. However,
several aspects of our understanding of how muscles respond to highly stressful exercise …

Abstract Changes in satellite cell content play a key role in regulating skeletal muscle growth
and atrophy. Yet, there is little information on changes in satellite cell content from birth to …

The aging process is associated with loss of muscle mass and strength and decline in
physical functioning. The term sarcopenia is primarily defined as low level of muscle mass …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …
