Researchers have identified a protein that’s critical to the development of skeletal muscle mass and strength and the tissue’s ability to metabolize glucose. They say their findings may lead to ...

The exposure of developing broiler embryos to controlled photoperiods has emerged as a pivotal factor in optimising both muscle development and overall growth performance. Recent research has ...

Building muscle is a multifaceted process that requires more than just lifting weights. To achieve optimal muscle growth, it’s crucial to understand the intricate balance between proper nutrition, ...

Why Training Across All Rep Ranges Can Maximize Muscle Growth For decades, lifters were told there was a "magic" rep range for hypertrophy — traditionally 8–12 ...

Building muscles: Muscle stem cells (their nuclei marked in blue) gradually alter their structure and function, becoming adult muscle cells (whose nuclei turn red). Those cells will eventually fuse ...

The conventional wisdom surrounding muscle development has long centered on progressive overload through increasingly heavy weights. This paradigm, reinforced by bodybuilding traditions and gym ...

A study investigated how a 10-week break from resistance training affected maximum strength and muscle size. The study found that a 10-week break halfway through 20 total weeks of strength training ...

Physical therapists and chiropractors often talk about the importance of developing the "posterior chain" to create better biomechanical balance. The posterior chain refers to the group of muscles ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and limb ...

A Concordia-led research team has created one of the first reference charts showing how children's adipose (fat) and muscle ...
