Muscle Hypertrophy Models: Applications for Research on Aging

Abstract excerpt

Muscle hypertrophy is an adaptive response to overload that requires increasing gene transcription and synthesis of muscle-specific proteins resulting in increased protein accumulation. Progressive resistance training (P(RT)) is thought to be among the best means for achieving hypertrophy in humans. However, hypertrophy and functional adaptations to P(RT) in the muscles of humans are often difficult to evaluate...
