Sarcopenia – the gradual decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength, power, and capacity that occurs with age – is familiar to nearly all. What individuals do not know is that sarcopenia may start as ...

In a review published in the International Journal of Molecular Science, researchers set out to assess how taking magnesium supplements affected skeletal muscle health, with a focus on neuromuscular ...

In Part I of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR), we reviewed the history of the technique and the evidence of its use during physical therapy and rehabilitation when ...

Left: Evaluation of the effect of the assistance on the activity of the biceps muscle while lifting a weight of 5 kg. Results showed that on average the muscle activity was reduced by 39% with ...

New study reveals ground beef outperforms plant-based meat in muscle-building potential, challenging perceptions of protein power in plant alternatives. Study: The anabolic response to a ground beef ...

Engineers designed modular, spring-like devices to maximize the work of live muscle fibers so they can be harnessed to power biohybrid robots. Our muscles are nature's perfect actuators -- devices ...

Researchers have developed a lightweight fluidic engine to power muscle-mimicking soft robots for use in assistive devices. What sets the new engine apart is its ability to generate significant force ...
