Journal ArticleDOI
The role of metabolites in strength training. I. A comparison of eccentric and concentric contractions
R C Smith,O M Rutherford +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that metabolic cost, and not high forces alone, are involved in the stimuli for muscle hypertrophy and strength gains following high-resistance training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spine and total body bone mineral density and serum testosterone levels in male athletes.
R C Smith,O M Rutherford +1 more
TL;DR: A significant positive correlation was found between calcium intake and total body BMD and the heavy weight training typical of rowing training seemed to result in significant bone accretion, whereas the low testosterone levels in the triathletes may have negated any positive effect of the increased exercise on BMD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of isometric strength training on quadriceps muscle properties in over 55 year olds.
L Welsh,O M Rutherford +1 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that people over the age of 55 still have the capacity to increase muscle strength and size, and that the training causes slowing of the muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction in range of movement can increase maximum voluntary eccentric forces for the human knee extensor muscles
TL;DR: The characteristics of the force velocity relationship curve for the human knee extensors between −1.57 (eccentric) and 3.67 (concentric) rads ·’s−1 (−90 and 210° s1) for both legs were measured.
