If you're on a quest for hypertrophy, or maximum muscle growth, it's not just about lifting weights. Science shows that one ...

There's not much research specifically surrounding the muscle pump and its contribution to muscle growth. Still, there's a ...

While previous studies suggest that the eccentric or lengthening phase of lifting yields the most muscle growth, a new study ...

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 ...

Progressive overload is adjusting strength training exercises to gradually increase reps and workout time. Learn how to ...

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 ...

Cardiac hypertrophy is the abnormal enlargement, or thickening, of the heart muscle, resulting from increases in cardiomyocyte size and changes in other heart muscle components, such as ...

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 ...

Another active area of research in the laboratory focuses on unraveling the mechanisms behind maladaptive, or pathological, and adaptive, or physiological, cardiac hypertrophy. In response to certain ...

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 ...

The following is a summary of “Role of glucocorticoid receptor expression in Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy: implications for ...
