Non-Specific Strength Changes Between High- and Low-Load Isotonic Resistance Training: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Open
Background In comparisons between high- and low-load isotonic resistance training, it has become common to include non-specific strength tests (e.g., isometric and isokinetic strength tests), presumably in attempt to minimize the influence…

Submaximal low-load resistance exercise with blood flow restriction produces similar results to low-load exercise to failure for muscle size and strength, but not endurance Open
Purpose To examine the effects of submaximal low-load resistance exercise with and without blood flow restriction (BFR) on muscle size, strength, cross-education of strength, and muscular endurance with BFR compared to low-load exercise to…

Perceived Discomfort is Decreased After Repeated Bouts of Isometric Handgrip Exercise With and Without Blood Flow Restriction Open
Blood flow restricted exercise appears to be more discomforting than the same exercise without blood flow restriction. Changes in discomfort have not been investigated following repeated bouts of isometric exercise. It is possible that the…

The Influence of Eccentric Muscle Actions on Concentric Muscle Strength: An Exception to the Principle of Specificity? Open
The principle of specificity suggests that the largest changes in strength occur when training resembles the specific strength test. A one-repetition maximum (1RM) test, which tests the maximal concentric strength, is commonly used as a su…

Blood flow restriction training attenuates changes in local muscle endurance: At odds with previous work? Open
Ida and Sasaki (2024) reported that exercising to failure without blood flow restriction resulted in greater increases in local muscle endurance than exercising to failure with blood flow restriction. The authors attributed their results (…

Unilateral high-load resistance training induced a similar cross-education of strength between the dominant and non-dominant arm Open
It was previously hypothesized that the cross-education of strength is asymmetrical, where a greater transfer of strength is observed from the dominant to the non-dominant limb. The purpose of this study was to examine if the magnitude of …

Cross-Education of Muscular Endurance: A Scoping Review Open
Background It is well established that performing unilateral resistance training can increase muscle strength not only in the trained limb but also in the contralateral untrained limb, which is widely known as the cross-education of streng…

Blood flow restriction pressure for narrow cuffs (5 cm) cannot be estimated with precision Open
Blood flow restriction pressures are set relative to the lowest pressure needed to occlude blood flow with that specific cuff. Due to pressure limitations of some devices, it is often not possible to occlude blood flow in all subjects and …

Blood flow restriction augments exercise-induced pressure pain thresholds over repetition and effort matched conditions Open
We sought to determine the effects of blood flow restriction (BFR) on exercise-induced hypoalgesia, specifically using low-load (LL) resistance exercise (30% 1RM) protocols that accounted for each individual's local muscular endurance capa…

Muscular Adaptations Between Very Low Load Resistance Training With Pulsed Direct Current Stimulation (Neubie) and Traditional High Load Training. Open
The current data suggest that very low load knee extension resistance training with DPC could be a viable training strategy for promoting skeletal muscle growth and local muscular endurance.

Skeletal muscle mass in competitive physique‐based athletes (bodybuilding, 212 bodybuilding, bikini, and physique divisions): A case series Open
Objectives (1) To examine the muscle thickness of various muscle groups of the body to estimate the absolute and relative skeletal muscle mass (SM) in competitive physique‐based athletes (Bodybuilding, 212 Bodybuilding, Bikini, and Physiqu…

Injuries and Strength Training Practices in Collegiate Tennis Open
Strength and conditioning practices may influence injury rates in the sport of tennis. Methods: Coaches reported the number injuries over the past year. Coaches were also surveyed on whether their training program included training related…

The acute muscular response following a novel form of pulsed direct current stimulation (Neubie) or traditional resistance exercise. Open
Both conditions showed increased SOR, and decreased ISO for up to 48h, with MT increased for up to 24h. MT remained elevated in TRAD at 48h. Neubie training might be effective for individuals who are looking to experience lower RPE respons…

Is “periodization programming” periodization or programming? Open
Within the literature examining the periodization of resistance training, "periodization" and "programming" are often confused and used interchangeably. This has resulted in the drawing of inferences regarding the efficacy of periodization…
