Strength, hypertrophy & muscle failure : It's load-dependent

by P. Debraux | 1 February 2022

Because it would allow the complete recruitment of high-treshold motor units, training until muscle failure often appears to be an ideal solution for maximising gains. However, with the same volume of training, what are the benefits with light and heavy loads ?

Sleep requirements of elite athletes

by A. Manolova | 18 January 2022

Sleep is essential to our proper functioning, both physiologically and psychologically. For an adult, it is generally recommended to sleep between 7 and 9 hours per night. However, these guidelines are very broad and do not consider the inter-individual differences in the sleep needs of each athlete.

Impact of resistance training on arterial stiffness

by P. Debraux | 11 January 2022

Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, associated with an increased risk of mortality. If general physical activity seems to reduce it, what about resistance training?

Physical activity could reduce the onset of depression

by A. Manolova | 16 November 2021

Depression affects approximately 280 million people worldwide. Physical activity is often prescribed for depressed people with moderate to large benefits depending on the study. But could physical activity act as a preventive measure and reduce the risk of developing depression?

Neuromuscular fatigue and recovery after strength and power training

by P. Debraux | 9 November 2021

In addition to strength and muscle gains, resistance training induces muscular and nervous fatigue. It is often said and written that it is more difficult and longer to recover nervously than muscularly. But is this really the case?

Impact of rest interval duration on training volume

by P. Debraux | 2 November 2021

The training volume is very important. However, the fatigue accumulated during the first and subsequent sets has a negative impact on it. What impact will longer rest periods have on training volume?

Impact of energy deficiency on resistance training gains

by A. Manolova | 26 October 2021

Energy deficiency impacts anabolic hormone production and protein synthesis, which is usually accompanied by a loss of lean body mass. But what impact would a caloric deficit created through diet have on responses to resistance training?

Biomechanics of running in overweight/obese children

by P. Debraux | 19 October 2021

Rightly or wrongly, running is one of the most recommended forms of exercise for reducing obesity and improving general health. But what are the biomechanical characteristics and associated risks of this activity in overweight/obese children?
