Ageing is accompanied by decrements in the size and function of skeletal muscle that
compromise independence and quality of life in older adults. Developing therapeutic …

Over the last few years, there has been growing interest in measuring the contractile force
(CF) of engineered muscle tissues to evaluate their functionality. However, there are still no …

Skeletal muscle has the remarkable ability to regenerate. However, with age and disease
muscle strength and function decline. Myofiber size, which is affected by injury and disease …

Previously trained mouse muscles acquire strength and volume faster than naïve muscles; it
has been suggested that this is related to increased myonuclear density. The present study …

Key points The mechanisms responsible for the loss in muscle power and increased
fatigability with ageing are unresolved. We show that the contractile mechanics of fibres from …

Skeletal muscle is comprised of a heterogeneous population of muscle fibers which can be
classified by their metabolic and contractile properties (fiber “types”). Fiber type is a primary …

As studies examining the hypertrophic effects of resistance training (RT) at the cellular level
have produced inconsistent results, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to …

This study aimed to examine the distribution and contractile properties of single muscle fiber
sex/myosin heavy chain (MHC) type-related differences and to evaluate the correlation of …

The Exercise Boom of the 1970's resulted in the adoption of habitual exercise in a significant
portion of the population. Many of these individuals are defying the cultural norms by …

Purpose This study aimed to determine the best muscle size index of muscle strength by
establishing if incorporating muscle architecture measurements improved the human muscle …
