Research in exercise physiology has significantly advanced our understanding of muscle fatigue – the exercise‐induced decline in the ability of a muscle to generate force. This phenomenon encompasses ...

Interrupting prolonged sitting with periodic activity 'snacks' may help maintain muscle mass and quality, according to a new study. Interrupting prolonged sitting with periodic activity "snacks" may ...

The study of fish exercise physiology and muscle metabolism encompasses the examination of how mechanical activity and varying swimming intensities affect muscle growth, cellular structure, and ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness. Researchers found that certain statins can latch onto a key muscle protein and ...

The Bround Lab studies mitochondrial biology with an emphasis on heart and skeletal muscle physiology and disease. Mitochondria are important organelles which serve as the powerhouse and molecular ...

You don’t start from zero after taking time off. Here’s why your body bounces back. Ever taken a long break from the gym, whether because of an injury, burnout, or just life, and found that your body ...

A study in the Journal of Applied Physiology suggests quick bursts of moderate-intensity exercise can help your body use amino acids from your meals, which helps you build muscle. Researchers found ...

Cachexia is a metabolic disorder that causes uncontrolled weight loss and muscle wasting in chronic diseases and cancer. A new study by Helmholtz Munich, in collaboration with the Institute of ...

TORONTO — GLP-1 receptor agonists (RAs) have transformed diabetes and obesity management, offering improvements in glycemic control and weight loss and reductions in cardiometabolic risk. But “an ...

You’ve tried everything. Stretching routines, massage therapy, foam rolling, hot baths, and still, that nagging tightness in your muscles persists. Before you book another bodywork session or invest ...

The smoking gun, for me, is the hill sprint at the end of the workout. I can still keep up with some of my younger training partners in tempo runs and mile reps, but when it comes to blasting uphill, ...
