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

Purpose The aim of this umbrella review was to determine the impact of resistance training
(RT) and individual RT prescription variables on muscle mass, strength, and physical …

Strength exercise is a strategy applied in sports and physical training processes. It may
induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy. The hypertrophy is dependent on the eccentric muscle …

Background: Effective hypertrophy-oriented resistance training (RT) should comprise a
combination of mechanical tension and metabolic stress. Regarding training variables, the …

High-intensity horizontal decelerations occur frequently in team sports and are typically
performed to facilitate a reduction in momentum preceding a change of direction manoeuvre …

Skeletal muscle is highly adaptable and has consistently been shown to morphologically
respond to exercise training. Skeletal muscle growth during periods of resistance training …

Eccentric contractions, characterized by the lengthening of the muscle-tendon complex,
present several unique features compared with other types of contractions, which may lead …

Background Although performance of the Nordic hamstring exercise (NHE) has been shown
to elicit adaptations that may reduce hamstring strain injury (HSI) risk and occurrence …

Isometric training is used in the rehabilitation and physical preparation of athletes, special
populations, and the general public. However, little consensus exists regarding training …

Background Plyometric training (PT) has been widely studied in sport science. However,
there is no review that determines the impact of PT on the structural variables and …
