Controversies in Recovery Strategies
This article will provide a scientific evaluation of three frequently-implemented recovery strategies: anti-inflammatory interventions (NSAID/ice baths), foam rolling, and nutrition timing.
The Benefits of Concurrent Training
It must be noted that this article is specifically looking at intracellular signaling pathways leading to increased muscle size.
Muscle Memory: The Three Key Muscle Fiber Changes
The muscle memory phenomenon is a multi-faceted process with many different areas of the body having a different “memory” in relation to degree and timeframe. Let’s look deeper into this process.
Fatigue and Exercise: A Review of Science and Implementation
Why would the body want to inhibit its contractile components and reduce its ability to protect itself? Fatigue is not random and it is not illogical.
Lactate: Friend or Foe?
From regenerative properties to acidic buffering abilities and more, lactate has many functions and effects.
Overtraining: A Molecular Perspective
Overtraining can be due to both hormonal fluctuation and dysfunctional mechano-transducing properties at the cellular level. These will be the two areas focused upon in this article.
Foam Rolling: Mechanical Pressure and Its Performance Implications
Though they may seem simple, how, when, and why you use recovery or preparatory techniques should be determined by a deep understanding of the body’s neurological and morphological responses.
