SUMMARY Background. It is still not clear what physiologically differentiates trained individuals from untrained individuals regarding the ability to hypertrophy, with speculation that these individuals may present different swelling levels in response to the same training load. Objective. This study aimed to compare the response of muscular swelling between eight adults from the More Experienced … Continued
SUMMARY Background. Muscle hypertrophy is one of the main goals of resistance training and is frequently associated with an increase in muscle cross-sectional area (CSA). Imaging techniques are valid and reliable techniques for measuring CSA but are inaccessible to most professionals. Anthropometric-based multiple regression equations (i.e. using circumference and skinfolds outcomes) have been proposed to … Continued
SUMMARY Purpose. This study aimed to verify and compare the potential acute effects of combined and isolated supplementation of caffeine and capsaicin on the performance and the perceived exertion (RPE) in a session of resistance training (RT). Methods. Fourteen trained men participated in the study (5.6 ± 3.5 years of experience in RT and weekly … Continued
SUMMARY Introduction. Low-load blood flow restriction (BFR) training may induce positive neuromuscular adaptations, but proximal BFR effects are unclear. This study aims to investigate chronic effects of low-load resistance training (LLRT) with BFR on upper extremity neuromuscular performance of healthy women. Methods. This protocol for clinical trial will include 78 volunteers randomized into three groups of 26 participants: LLRT … Continued
SUMMARY Background. Gender difference has shown that females exhibit a greater the ankle range of motion (ROM) than males. On the other hand, few studies have examined the link between the ankles ROM, muscle strength and functional performance (FP) in the gender difference. Objective. The purpose of this investigation was to compare the ankles ROM, … Continued
