The effect was specific to fast-twitch fibers, which are used to generate rapid, powerful movements like sprinting and ...

Running helps build muscles like your glutes, quads, and hamstrings. But you need to challenge yourself consistently or else you could lose muscle.

A University of Alberta research team is shedding much-needed light on cancer cachexia, a severe muscle-wasting syndrome ...

Stimulating muscle fibers with magnets causes them to grow in the same direction, aligning muscle cells within tissue. The findings offer a simpler, less time-consuming way for medical researchers to ...

Leucine is a BCAA that triggers muscle hypertrophy and is found in protein-rich foods and supplements. Learn when and how to ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and limb ...

Why Training Across All Rep Ranges Can Maximize Muscle Growth For decades, lifters were told there was a "magic" rep range for hypertrophy — traditionally 8–12 ...

In the dynamic landscape of intelligent technology, electrically powered artificial muscle fibers (EAMFs) are emerging as a revolutionary power source for advanced robotics and wearable devices.

Researchers have just made the unexpected discovery of a novel organization of muscle fibers in Parophidion vassali, a fish that lives in the Mediterranean Sea and, like many fish, uses specialized ...

This illustration depicts a new platform for magnetic matrix actuation, enabling the study of how tissues respond to dynamic mechanical cues in their environment. Stimulating muscle fibers with ...
