Sarcopenia, Dynapenia, and the Impact of Advancing Age on Human Skeletal Muscle Size and Strength; a Quantitative Review
Narrative quantitative review of age-related declines in human skeletal muscle mass and strength, the concepts of sarcopenia and dynapenia, muscle quality, and associated risks of disability and death.
Indicators of response to exercise training: a systematic review and meta-analysis
To investigate whether endurance training (END), high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and resistance exercise training (RET) improve cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) in previously untrained adults, and to evaluate alternative indicators of exercise response (resting heart rate, maximal heart rate, lactate threshold, power output) compared to VO2max.
Protein dose requirements to maximize skeletal muscle protein synthesis after repeated bouts of resistance exercise in young trained women
To determine the optimal protein dose to maximize muscle protein synthesis after repeated bouts of resistance exercise in trained women.
Differential effects of resistance and endurance exercise in the fed state on signalling molecule phosphorylation and protein synthesis in human muscle
The study investigates how resistance and endurance exercise differentially affect myofibrillar and mitochondrial protein synthesis in young men, both before and after 10 weeks of training.
Critical variables regulating age-related anabolic responses to protein nutrition in skeletal muscle
This narrative review examines how age, protein dose, timing, and composition regulate skeletal muscle protein synthesis to optimize muscle maintenance and growth.
Dietary protein splanchnic uptake and digestibility via stable isotope tracers
To evaluate the role of splanchnic amino acid uptake and protein digestibility in influencing muscle protein synthesis, particularly in aging and clinical populations, using stable isotope tracer techniques.
Enriching a protein drink with leucine augments muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise in young and older men.
To determine whether adding leucine to a suboptimal protein drink enhances muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise in young and older men.
Pharmacological weight loss with incretin-based therapies does not result in a disproportionate loss of muscle mass or function in obese mice and humans
Assesses whether incretin-based therapies (e.g., semaglutide, tirzepatide) cause disproportionate loss of muscle mass or function in obese mice and humans.
Low-Load High Volume Resistance Exercise Stimulates Muscle Protein Synthesis More Than High-Load Low Volume Resistance Exercise in Young Men
To determine whether low-load high-volume or high-load low-volume resistance exercise better stimulates muscle protein synthesis and anabolic signaling in young men.
A double-blind placebo controlled trial into the impacts of HMB supplementation and exercise on free-living muscle protein synthesis, muscle mass and function, in older adults
To determine whether HMB-free acid supplementation enhances muscle protein synthesis, mass, and function in older men undergoing resistance training.
Effects of High-Volume Versus High-Load Resistance Training on Skeletal Muscle Growth and Molecular Adaptations
Compare effects of high-volume (60% 1RM, 20–32 sets/week) vs. high-load (80–85% 1RM, 12–18 sets/week) resistance training on muscle hypertrophy, strength, and molecular adaptations in trained young men.
Overexpression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy
To determine whether overexpression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy and whether VDR expression correlates with hypertrophic responses in humans.
