Musculoskeletal health is directly linked to independence and longevity, but disease and aging impairs muscle mass and health. Complete repair after a pathological or physiological muscle injury is critical for maintaining muscle function, yet muscle...
Skeletal muscle aging and related diseases are characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and metabolic function. Central to these processes is mitochondrial dysfunction, which impairs energy metabolism, redox homeostasis, and proteo...
Strenuous exercise involving eccentric muscle actions induces skeletal muscle damage resulting in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Antioxidant supplementation, such as astaxanthin (AX), may alleviate muscle injury following intense exercise. The...
Skeletal muscle function is vital for locomotion, posture, and metabolism, significantly impacting overall health and preventing falls, morbidity, and mortality, especially in elderly populations. This systematic review investigates the influence of...
The skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue that shows a remarkable adaptive capacity in response to acute and resistance exercise, and modifies its composition to adapt to use and disuse, a process referred to as muscle plasticity. Heat shock pro...
Background: Musculoskeletal pain is a non-negligible multifaceted condition affecting more than 30% of the global population. Superficial heat therapy (HT), through increasing tissue temperatures, plays a role in increasing local metabolism and funct...
Exercise-induced muscle injury and the subsequent release of Damage-Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMP) result in soreness and inflammation. Dietary supplements may accelerate the rate of recovery by supporting resolution of inflammation. The purpos...
Skeletal muscle is a complex tissue comprising multinucleated and post-mitotic cells (i.e., myofibers). Given this, skeletal muscle must maintain a fine balance between growth and degradative signals. A major system regulating the remodeling of skele...
Muscle strength and mass strongly influence performance. The role of the trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs in a specific performance is important but unclear in terms of muscle strength, muscle mass, and the degree of influence of each part. Standi...
This study’s primary objective was to examine the differences in body composition, abdominal strength, absolute and relative power, handgrip strength, one repetition maximum for squat and bench press, and the maximum count of push-up and sit-up...
