Journal ArticleDOI
Age‐related differences in the dose–response relationship of muscle protein synthesis to resistance exercise in young and old men
Vinod Kumar,Anna Selby,Debbie Rankin,Rekha Patel,Philip J. Atherton,Wulf Hildebrandt,John P. Williams,Kenneth Smith,Olivier R. Seynnes,Natalie Hiscock,Michael J. Rennie +10 more
TL;DR: In the post‐absorptive state, MPS is dose dependant on intensity rising to a plateau at 60–90% 1 repetition maximum (1 RM), and older men show anabolic resistance of signalling and MPS to resistance exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early skeletal muscle hypertrophy and architectural changes in response to high-intensity resistance training
TL;DR: In this paper, a 35-day high-intensity resistance training (RT) program was used to assess the early changes in muscle size and architecture during a bilateral leg extension three times per week on a gravity-independent flywheel ergometer.
Journal ArticleDOI
The acute effect of stretching on the passive stiffness of the human gastrocnemius muscle tendon unit.
Christopher I. Morse,Hans Degens,Olivier R. Seynnes,Constantinos N. Maganaris,David A. Jones,David A. Jones +5 more
TL;DR: Passive stretching was commonly used to increase limb range of movement prior to athletic performance but it is unclear which component of the muscle–tendon unit (MTU) is affected by this procedure but post‐conditioning this was not the case suggesting that at least part of the change in muscle with conditioning stretches was due to altered properties of connective tissue.
Journal ArticleDOI
The temporal responses of protein synthesis, gene expression and cell signalling in human quadriceps muscle and patellar tendon to disuse.
Maarten Daan de Boer,Anna Selby,Philip J. Atherton,Kenneth Smith,Olivier R. Seynnes,Constantinos N. Maganaris,Nicola Maffulli,Tomas Movin,Marco V. Narici,Michael J. Rennie +9 more
TL;DR: Both myofibrillar and tendon protein synthetic rates show progressive decreases during 21 days of disuse; in muscle, this is accompanied by decreased phosphorylation of FAK, with no marked increases in genes for proteolytic enzymes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological and Functional Responses to Low-Moderate Versus High-Intensity Progressive Resistance Training in Frail Elders
Olivier R. Seynnes,Maria A. Fiatarone Singh,Olivier Hue,Pierre Pras,Patrick Legros,Pierre Louis Bernard +5 more
TL;DR: Supervised HI, free weight-based training for frail elders appears to be as safe as lower intensity training but is more effective physiologically and functionally.
