Resistance Training Recommendations to Maximize Muscle Hypertrophy in an Athletic Population: Position Stand of the IUSCA

International Journal of Strength and Conditioning, 2021
Hypertrophy can be operationally defined as an increase in the axial cross-sectional area of a muscle fiber or whole muscle, and is due to increases in the size of pre-existing muscle fibers. Hypertrophy is a desired outcome in many sports.

Mechanisms of mechanical overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy: current understanding and future directions.

Physiol Rev, 2023
Mechanisms underlying mechanical overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy have been extensively researched since the landmark report by Morpurgo (1897) of "work-induced hypertrophy" in dogs that were treadmill-trained. Much of the pre-clinical rodent

Recent advances in understanding resistance exercise training-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy in humans [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2020
Skeletal muscle plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of physical and metabolic health and, critically, mobility. Accordingly, strategies focused on increasing the quality and quantity of skeletal muscle are relevant, and resistance exercise is ...

Triceps surae muscle hypertrophy is greater after standing versus seated calf-raise training [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Background: The triceps surae muscle plays important roles in fundamental human movements. However, this muscle is relatively unresponsive to resistance training (difficult to hypertrophy) but prone to atrophy with inactivity compared with other muscles.

miRNA‐1 regulation is necessary for mechanical overload‐induced muscle hypertrophy in male mice [PDF]

Physiological Reports
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding RNAs that play a critical role in regulating gene expression post‐transcriptionally. They are involved in various developmental and physiological processes, and their dysregulation is linked to various diseases ...

Requirement of myomaker-mediated stem cell fusion for skeletal muscle hypertrophy

eLife, 2017
Fusion of skeletal muscle stem/progenitor cells is required for proper development and regeneration, however the significance of this process during adult muscle hypertrophy has not been explored.

A Critical Evaluation of the Biological Construct Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy: Size Matters but So Does the Measurement

Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
Skeletal muscle is highly adaptable and has consistently been shown to morphologically respond to exercise training. Skeletal muscle growth during periods of resistance training has traditionally been referred to as skeletal muscle hypertrophy, and this ...

Chronic Effects of Static Stretching Exercises on Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy in Healthy Individuals: A Systematic Review and Multilevel Meta-Analysis [PDF]

Sports Medicine - Open
Background The chronic effect of static stretching (SS) on muscle hypertrophy is still unclear. This study aimed to examine the chronic effects of SS exercises on skeletal muscle hypertrophy in healthy individuals.

Benign masseter muscle hypertrophy

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2008
Summary: Idiopathic hypertrophy of the masseter muscle is a rare disorder of unknown cause. Some authors associate it with the habit of chewing gum, temporo-mandibular joint disorder, congenital and functional hypertrophies, and emotional disorders ...

Beyond Mechanical Tension: A Review of Resistance Exercise-Induced Lactate Responses & Muscle Hypertrophy [PDF]

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology, 2022
The present review aims to explore and discuss recent research relating to the lactate response to resistance training and the potential mechanisms by which lactate may contribute to skeletal muscle hypertrophy or help to prevent muscle atrophy.
