L’entraînement avec occlusion vasculaire est une alternative efficace pour utiliser des charges légères et obtenir les mêmes bénéfices en force et en hypertrophie musculaires qu’avec un entraînement traditionnel. Mais existe-t-il un protocole optimal ?

When the forearm is pronated/supinated, the radius rotates on itself. This movement should have no influence on the internal lever arm of the triceps, which attaches to the ulna… But is that really the case?

Age-related changes in the brain include a reduction in gray matter volume, which is thought to be directly influenced by our level of physical activity and body composition. Can these factors slow cerebral aging and improve cognitive health in the long term?

The popularity of BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) rests mainly on the fact that they are said to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and reduce proteolysis, thus promulgating a positive net protein balance. But are they really necessary?

It has been suggested that humans have a finite potential in their ability to grow skeletal muscle. However, if this plateau does exist, are there other physiological factors, in addition to genetic predisposition, that put the brakes on our muscle gains?

In the world of fitness, it’s not always easy to sort the truth from the falsehood. And creatine is a victim of its own success. From unjustified fears about its safety to misunderstandings about its effects, creatine is often demonized.

Creatine is mostly associated with enhanced athletic performance and muscle growth. However, recent scientific explorations have shed light on a different, but equally important, aspect of this well-known supplement: its impact on brain health.

Resistance training is particularly recommended for its health benefits. However, lack of time is the main reason given for not exercising. Is there a minimum dose that would still provide some benefits?
