Adaptations in skeletal muscle following strength training

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1979
Five men were studied before and after 7 wk of isokinetic strength training to determine its effects on muscle enzyme activities and fiber composition. One of the subject's legs was trained using 10 repeated 6-s maximal work bouts, while the other leg performed repeated 30-s maximal knee extension exercise.

Respiratory muscle strength training applications

Current Opinion in Otolaryngology & Head & Neck Surgery, 2008
To provide an overview of respiratory muscle strength training applications for voice and speech disorders.Little examination of respiratory muscle training for the rehabilitation of voice and speech has occurred. Less than a handful of studies discuss use of strengthening techniques for the voice-disordered population and of those, inspiratory muscle ...

Muscle training for bone strength

Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2006
The main function of bone is to provide the mechanical integrity for locomotion and protection; accordingly, bone mass and architecture are adjusted to control the strains produced by mechanical load and muscular activity. Age-related patterns involve peak bone mass during growth, a plateau in adulthood, and bone loss during aging.

TRAINING MUSCLE STRENGTH

Ergonomics, 1959
The strength of muscles is adapted to needs by muscular growth. The stimulus for increase in muscle strength is not fatigue but the force exerted during the job. When this force exceeds one-third of maximum strength, the maximum speed of increase in strength is reached with one single, short duration static contraction per day.

Respiratory Muscle Strength Training: Functional Outcomes versus Plasticity

Seminars in Speech and Language, 2006
Respiratory muscle strength training is a paradigm that has been used for numerous years with a variety of populations including but not limited to spinal cord injury, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, voice disordered, sedentary elderly, and healthy young.

Benefits of Motor Imagery Training on Muscle Strength

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2010
It is well established that motor imagery (MI) improves motor performance and motor learning efficiently. Previous studies provided evidence that muscle strength may benefit from MI training, mainly when movements are under the control of large cortical areas in the primary motor cortex.

Muscle hypertrophy, hormonal adaptations and strength development during strength training in strength-trained and untrained men

European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2003
Hormonal and neuromuscular adaptations to strength training were studied in eight male strength athletes (SA) and eight non-strength athletes (NA). The experimental design comprised a 21-week strength-training period. Basal hormonal concentrations of serum total testosterone (T), free testosterone (FT) and cortisol (C) and maximal isometric strength ...

Concentric resistance training increases muscle strength without affecting microcirculation

European Journal of Radiology, 2010
While the evidence is conclusive regarding the positive effects of endurance training, there is still some controversy regarding the effects of resistance training on muscular capillarity. Thus, the purpose was to assess whether resistance strength training influences resting skeletal muscle microcirculation in vivo.Thirty-nine middle-aged subjects (15

Inadequate sleep and muscle strength: Implications for resistance training

Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, 2018
Inadequate sleep (e.g., an insufficient duration of sleep per night) can reduce physical performance and has been linked to adverse metabolic health outcomes. Resistance exercise is an effective means to maintain and improve physical capacity and metabolic health, however, the outcomes for populations who may perform resistance exercise during periods ...

Progressive Resistance Muscle Strength Training of Hospitalized Frail Elderly

American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2001
To determine whether frail elderly patients recuperating from acute illnesses could safely participate in and gain appreciable improvement in muscle strength from progressive resistance muscle strength training.Muscle strength (one repetition maximum), functional abilities (sit-to-stand maneuver and 20-sec maximal safe gait speed), and body composition
