Aging is associated with the loss of muscle volume (MV) and force leading to difficulties with activities of daily living. However, the relationship between upper limb MV and joint strength has not been characterized for older adults. Quantifying this relationship may help our understanding of the...
Relationship of intermuscular fat volume in the thigh with knee extensor strength and physical performance in women at risk of or with knee osteoarthritis Objective To determine the extent to which thigh intermuscular fat (IMF) and quadriceps muscle (QM) volumes explained variance in knee extensor ...
Patients with DSPN had significantly less knee extensor strength than those without (P = 0.02) but showed no difference in knee extensor volume (P = 0.38) and ankle plantar flexor strength (P = 0.21) or volume (P = 0.96). In patients with <25 nmol/L versus >25 nmol/L 25OHD, no ...
But if you’re aiming to build maximum strength and muscle mass, a split approach will likely allow you to balance a higher training volume with a higher training frequency— while allowing plenty of time for recovery in between. What is the “bro” workout split? The “bro” workout ...
However, spreading the weekly volume over 3 days, combined with training at optimal intensity, would probably have improved the results of this study for the other outcome measures, particularly muscle strength. Training rest periods Finally, another variable in exercise prescription is rest periods. ...
6. Employ Micro Workouts to Preserve Muscle and Strength Building muscle and strength usually means many hours of training each week. However, you can maintain your gains with much less training time. In fact, researchers estimate that you can reduce your training volume by two-thirds or more ...
J Strength Cond Res 31(7): 1879-1887, 2017-The purpose of this study was to investigate muscle activation, total repetitions, and training volume for 3 bench press (BP) exercise modes (Smith machine [SMBP], barbell [BBP], and dumbbell [DBP]) that were followed by a triceps extension (...

Lower muscle strength, volume, and endurance in older adults During the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), older adults covered∼9% less distance, in comparison with the young participants (p = 0.032, Fig.1a). Older adults also had a lower cardiorespiratory fitness, as indicated by a∼26...
Therapeutic interventions targeting muscle weakness and motor control/ neural activation in CP include strength training, mobility training, and functional electrical stimulation. Strength training has successfully induced improvements in muscle volume [139,160], fascicle length [58], cross-sectional area [...
