Exercise Standards for Testing and Training A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Gerald F. Fletcher,Philip A. Ades,Paul Kligfield,Ross Arena,Gary J. Balady,Vera Bittner,Lola A. Coke,Jerome L. Fleg,Daniel E. Forman,Thomas C. Gerber,Martha Gulati,Kushal Madan,Jonathan Rhodes,Paul D. Thompson,Mark A. Williams +14 more
TL;DR: These guidelines are a revision of the 1995 standards of the AHA that addressed the issues of exercise testing and training and current issues of practical importance in the clinical use of these standards are considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamentals of resistance training: progression and exercise prescription.
TL;DR: A careful system of goal targeting, exercise testing, proper exercise technique, supervision, and optimal exercise prescription all contribute to the successful implementation of a resistance training program.

Resistance Exercise in Individuals With and Without Cardiovascular Disease: 2007 Update A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association Council on Clinical Cardiology and Council on Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Metabolism
Mark A. Williams,William L. Haskell,Philip A. Ades,Ezra A. Amsterdam,Vera Bittner,Barry A. Franklin,Meg Gulanick,Susan T. Laing,Kerry J. Stewart +8 more
TL;DR: Clinicians are provided with recommendations to facilitate the use of this valuable modality and role of RT in modifying cardiovascular disease risk factors and prescriptive methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle fatigue: what, why and how it influences muscle function
Roger M. Enoka,Jacques Duchateau +1 more
TL;DR: Experimental approaches that focus on identifying the mechanisms that limit task failure rather than those that cause muscle fatigue are reviewed, providing insight into the rate‐limiting adjustments that constrain muscle function during fatiguing contractions.

ACSM Position Stand: The Recommended Quantity and Quality of Exercise for Developing and Maintaining Cardiorespiratory and Muscular Fitness, and Flexibility in Healthy Adults
Michael L. Pollock,Glenn A. Gaesser,Janus D. Butcher,Jean-Pierre Després,Rod K. Dishman,Barry A. Franklin,Carol Ewing Garber +6 more
TL;DR: The combination of frequency, intensity, and duration of exercise is found to be the most important factor in determining the intensity and quality of exercise a person receives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional significance of cell size in spinal motoneurons
TL;DR: The present paper is concerned with the central part of the motoneuron and the significance of its size in synaptic transmission and asks whether the cell bodies (and dendrites) connected with large and small motor fibers have different functional properties which can be recognized by their discharge characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single myosin molecule mechanics: piconewton forces and nanometre steps
TL;DR: A new in vitro assay using a feedback enhanced laser trap system allows direct measurement of force and displacement that results from the interaction of a single myosin molecule with a single suspended actin filament.
