Acute molecular and chronic vastus lateralis adaptations to lengthened partial versus full range of motion resistance training in previously trained males

This study compares acute and chronic adaptations in vastus lateralis muscle from lengthened partial versus full range of motion resistance training in trained males, finding similar outcomes but potential hamstring differences.

Regulation of Small RNAs by Exercise and Their Role in Insulin Sensitivity

This study examines how aerobic exercise affects small RNA expression in skeletal muscle and plasma, linking changes to improved insulin sensitivity.

Skeletal muscle mitochondrial responses to a single bout and six weeks of high load versus high volume resistance training in previously trained men

This study compares mitochondrial mRNA and protein responses to high-load and high-volume resistance training in trained men, finding no differences between the two training paradigms.

Resistance training rejuvenates the mitochondrial methylome in aged human skeletal muscle

Resistance training reduces methylation at 63% of mtDNA CpG sites in older males, mimicking a youthful methylome signature and enhancing mitochondrial function.

Muscle fiber hypertrophy in response to 6 weeks of high-volume resistance training in trained young men is largely attributed to sarcoplasmic hypertrophy

This study examines how high-volume resistance training affects muscle fiber hypertrophy and metabolic adaptations in trained men, finding increased sarcoplasmic protein and decreased actin/myosin concentrations.
