In the review and meta-analysis published in Experimental Gerontology, researchers set out to explore the effects of resistance training on muscle hypertrophy in adults aged 65 and up. Muscle ...

Here’s something we don’t talk about enough: aging doesn’t shrink all your muscles evenly. Just like getting stronger isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal, neither is getting older. A recent review by ...

As we age, our muscles atrophy. Earlier this year, researchers found that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein critical in skeletal muscle development loses its functionality due to nitration as ...

Knowing the precise mechanisms by which MYC drives muscle growth could prove instrumental in creating therapies that reduce muscle loss from aging, potentially improving independence, mobility and ...

Many gym influencers believe eccentric contractions lead to greater muscle growth. This stems from research showing that eccentric-only training produces larger post-workout mTOR signaling responses ...

Muscle growth, or hypertrophy, is more than just lifting heavy weights. For beginners, understanding the science behind bulking can make the process safer, faster, and more effective. Here's a ...

Even if you start lifting weights later in life, research continues to support the benefits. Committing to one year of heavy ...
