Interval training vs. classic "cardio": difference in fat oxidation

by P. Debraux | 23 August 2022

Interval training (HIIT/SIT) increases fat oxidation and reduces body fat. But what is the amount of this effect and is it greater than that obtained during a continuous effort at low intensity?

Hypertrophy and hamstring protection: seated vs prone leg curl

by P. Debraux | 9 August 2022

Some authors suggest that there is a link between the susceptibility of a muscle to sustain muscle damage and the likelihood of strain injury. Does long muscle length training lead to better hypertrophy and protection?

Losing body fat while maintaining muscle mass: The role of training volume

by P. Debraux | 2 August 2022

During a caloric restriction phase, fat loss is often accompanied by a loss of muscle mass. To stimulate anabolism, a high-protein diet and resistance training can help counteract these negative effects. What is the role of training volume?

Seniors, Physical Inactivity and Kettlebell

by A. Manolova | 14 June 2022

The kettlebell is beneficial for strengthening muscles and improving cardiovascular capacity, however, the use of the kettlebell often relies on explosive exercises that require good technical skills. Is this type of training suitable for seniors?

Resistance training & Protein Supplementation: What are the effects?

by P. Debraux | 26 May 2022

Resistance training is often associated with the consumption of protein supplements. The main goal is to optimize the effects of training on muscle strength and mass. But is it really the case?

Resistance training and high blood pressure: Lifting heavier is good for your health

by A. Manolova | 18 May 2022

Current official recommendations include moderate to high intensity weight training (50-80% of 1RM), targeting large muscle groups, at least twice a week but how do we know the impact of load intensity on hypertension?

Non-communicable diseases & mortality: Impact of resistance training

by P. Debraux | 9 March 2022

Regular resistance training increases and maintains muscle strength and mass. But does it have an impact on the risk of non-communicable diseases? What is the optimal dose of weight training to achieve significant health gains? And can we expect additional benefits from combining resistance training with cardiovascular endurance activity?

HIIT circuit: what impact on neuromuscular performance and cardiorespiratory fitness?

by P. Debraux | 1 March 2022

Although HIIT circuits combine cardiovascular and neuromuscular demands, it is not yet clear what the real fitness and health benefits are for practitioners.
