Repeated, episodic bouts of skeletal muscle contraction undertaken frequently as structured
exercise training are a potent stimulus for physiological adaptation in many organs …

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

Abstract Schoenfeld, BJ, Peterson, MD, Ogborn, D, Contreras, B, and Sonmez, GT. Effects of
low-vs. high-load resistance training on muscle strength and hypertrophy in well-trained …

Key points Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is one of the main outcomes from resistance training
(RT), but how it is modulated throughout training is still unknown. We show that changes in …

Sex‐related differences in physiology and anatomy are responsible for profound differences
in neuromuscular performance and fatigability between men and women. Women are …

Key points• A single bolus of∼ 20 g of protein after a bout of resistance exercise provides a
maximal anabolic stimulus during the early post‐exercise recovery period (∼ 5 h), but the …

Aim We investigated architectural, functional and molecular responses of human skeletal
muscle to concentric (CON) or eccentric (ECC) resistance training (RT). Methods Twelve …

Performance fatigability differs between men and women for a range of fatiguing tasks.
Women are usually less fatigable than men and this is most widely described for isometric …

Skeletal muscle mass is regulated by a balance between muscle protein synthesis (MPS)
and muscle protein breakdown (MPB). In healthy humans, MPS is more sensitive (varying 4 …

Background Protein supplements are frequently consumed by athletes and recreationally
active adults to achieve greater gains in muscle mass and strength and improve physical …
