Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Resistance Training on Older Adults
TL;DR: Strength and muscle mass are increased following resistance training in older adults through a poorly understood series of events that appears to involve the recruitment of satellite cells to support hypertrophy of mature myofibres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic equivalent: one size does not fit all.
TL;DR: The metabolic equivalent (MET) is a physiological concept that represents a simple procedure for expressing energy cost of physical activities as multiples of resting metabolic rate (RM) as discussed by the authors, which is a common physiological concept.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spinal cord stimulation in treatment of chronic benign pain: challenges in treatment planning and present status, a 22-year experience.
TL;DR: Spinal cord stimulation can provide significant long-term pain relief with improved quality of life and employment and will be effective in better defining prognostic factors and reducing complications leading to higher success rates with spinal cord stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The etiology of obesity: relative contribution of metabolic factors, diet, and physical activity
TL;DR: Diverging trends of decreasing energy intake and increasing body weight suggest that reduced physical activity may be the most important current factor explaining the rising prevalence of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical load increases muscle IGF-I and androgen receptor mRNA concentrations in humans
Marcas M. Bamman,James R. Shipp,Jie Jiang,Barbara A. Gower,Gary R. Hunter,Ashley Goodman,Charles L. McLafferty,Randall J. Urban +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that a single bout of mechanical loading in humans alters activity of the muscle IGF-I system, and the enhanced response to ECC suggests that IGF- I may somehow modulate tissue regeneration after mechanical damage.
