A study conducted at the University of Jyväskylä's Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences investigated how a 10-week break from resistance training affected maximum strength and muscle size.

Using a run-of-the-mill, portable and non-invasive electrical muscle stimulator while doing resistance training can yield greater gains in muscle strength and muscle mass than doing resistance training alone, according to new research.

A study by the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä showed for the first time that muscles “remember” training at the protein level.

According to new research, keeping two repetitions in reserve is almost as good as maxing out every set of your strength routine.

Recent evidence suggests that both animal and plant proteins support strength and hypertrophy gains when paired with resistance training and adequate protein intake. The purpose of this study was t...

A new study suggests that building muscle strength could play a direct role in reducing depression risk, particularly in women. Researchers found no evidence that aerobic fitness offers the same mental health benefits.

A new study published in GeroScience suggests that older adults who lift weights can actively slow down their biological brain aging. These findings provide evidence that regular strength training tends to keep the mind younger and healthier.

Roughly 90-120 minutes of strength training per week was linked with a 13% reduced risk of premature death, a study found.

Background/Objectives: The Geri-Fit® program, recognized by the National Council on Aging, is known to improve strength in older adults, yet it lacks robust evidence for clinical outcomes. The current study was performed to assess the change in clinical outcomes…

Findings suggest creatine may benefit older adults, as muscle mass and strength naturally decline with age.

Not all improvements are visible.
