Research shows us that muscle growth is driven by mechanical tension. Unlike time under tension—the amount of time a muscle ...

Rest assured, the hype is real. Hypertrophy is, by definition, the enlargement of an organ or tissue from the increase in ...

Start in pushup position, then shift your right foot just outside your right hand, keeping your left leg straight. Squeeze ...

“People get focused on the weight on the bar because of the term ‘load’ in progressive overload,” says Norton, but more reps is also a form of progressive overload. Adding more “hard sets,” or those ...

PHAT stands for Power Hypertrophy Adaptive Training, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: a program designed to blend heavy, ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an abnormal thickening of the left ventricular myocardium that occurs as an adaptive mechanism to increased afterload. The left ventricular myocytes ...

University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have created a computational tool to accelerate the development of new ...

Conclusions: RT induces larger increases in SM mass than in FFM. RT induced muscle hypertrophy does not occur uniformly throughout each individual muscle or region of the body. Therefore the ...

Right ventricular hypertrophy occurs when the right ventricular wall thickens due to chronic pressure overload, similar to that of left ventricular hypertrophy. RVH is diagnosed on ECG in the ...

Aim Differentiating physiological cardiac hypertrophy from pathology is challenging when the athlete presents with extreme anthropometry. While upper normal limits exist for maximal left ventricular ...

Spread the loveDrop set repetitions involve performing an exercise to muscle failure, then immediately reducing the weight ...
