Menopause is associated with a natural decline in estrogen, that increases visceral fat mass,
decreases bone mass density, muscle mass, and strength. This review will examine the role …

As women enter menopause, the concentration of estrogen and other female hormones
declines. This hormonal decrease has been associated with a number of negative …

Skeletal muscle fatigue is defined as the fall of force or power in response to contractile
activity. Both the mechanisms of fatigue and the modes used to elicit it vary tremendously …

The influence of the different phases of the menstrual cycle on skeletal muscle contractile
characteristics was studied in 19 regularly menstruating women. Muscle function was …

There is limited information on the anthropometry, strength, endurance and flexibility of
female rock climbers. The aim of this study was to compare these characteristics in three …

ABSTRACT LEMOINE, S., P. GRANIER, C. TIFFOCHE, F. RANNOU-BEKONO, ML

There are two oestrogen receptors (ERs), ERα and ERβ. ERβ protein is expressed in human
skeletal muscle in the nuclei of both myofibres and endothelial cells, whether ERα protein is …

We investigated whether long-term hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is associated with
mobility and lower limb muscle performance and composition in postmenopausal women …

Male skeletal muscles are generally faster and have higher maximum power output than
female muscles. Conversely, during repeated contractions, female muscles are generally …

Objective To investigate muscle strength and muscle endurance in women during 3 well-
determined phases of the menstrual cycle: early follicular phase, ovulation phase, and …
