Skeletal Muscle Function is Based on Architecture The eminent surgeon Paul Brand basically got the design story about muscles right. He astutely observed that the architecture, or the orientation of muscle fibers within a muscle—not its mass or volume—determined its function.1 The take-home lesso...
What is the biological / chemical process by which human body generates heat and maintains it at a fixed temperature? And which is / are the organs involved in this process? What are the six factors that interact to regulate skeletal muscle mass and strength development with resistance training...
Getting motivated to build muscle is helpful, but how do you actually get started and maintain progress with increasing your muscle mass? The answer comes with numerous individual variables—including nutrition, sleep, and overall activity levels—but beginning with strength training two to three times...
Although creatine is created naturally, the body must release stored creatine each day to keep normal levels depending on the muscle mass.
