Excited to announce that our PhD program in Human Performance & Fitness has been approved by the University! I'll be looking to mentor a select group of students who have a focus on applied exercise/nutrition research in muscle strength and hypertrophy. More on specifics soon...

Great new work from Martin Refalo on sex-based differences in hypertrophy doi.org/10.51224/SRXIV… '... relative increases in muscle size were similar between sexes [ES = 0.05 (95% HDI: –0.07 to 0.16); pd = 80%].'

Interesting potential fibre-type differences!

Our lab’s 1st attempt at a preprint, led by Jonathan Beausejour We welcome feedback, especially if you conduct TMS research during active contractions. 🧠UCF CNS Lab

First paper from my Phd is out.
Great team behind it all! 💪🏼🤩

We explore acute responses of proteolysis and ECM markers following an RT bout in the untrained and trained states.

Special thanks to our participants who donated time and effort to this project! 🙌🏻

Great findings by Dr.⁦Maíra Scarpelli⁩ Another excellent collab with ⁦Mike Roberts⁩ ! Congrats also to Joao, ⁦Joshua Godwin⁩ ⁦⁦Paulo Mesquita, PhD ⁦Talisson Chaves⁩ ⁦Carlos Ugrinowitsch⁩ and other co-authors link.springer.com/article/10.100…

We are too, Mike Roberts! Congratulations to you and the Auburn University team on setting a new benchmark in tissue sample research, continuing to advance our understanding of #aging and #skeletalmuscledisorders . Thank you for your collaboration with our team and technology.

Thanks Dr C! Loved the Seer platform. Very unique approach for increasing amount of proteins that are detected for sure. Looking forward to another collaboration with them.

I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their:

• Biggest Regrets
• Biggest Lessons
• Advice to their younger self

Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same…

Here are my top 8:

This new meta-analysis investigated the effects of split vs total body training programs on muscular adaptations. Unsurprisingly, the results showed similar hypertrophy between the strategies under volume-equated conditions. (1/3)

Just pubbed: Our paper discusses the importance of assessing multiple sites along a muscle to get a complete picture of exercise-induced hypertrophy.

Kudos to J.P. João Pedro Nunes for spearheading the project 💪

So happy for ⁦Auburn Kinesiology⁩ to have the opportunity to host Gustavo Nader from ⁦PSU KINES Dept⁩ and hear him deliver a cutting edge ribosome lecture. Incredible stuff.

Open rank faculty position in Kinesiology at UIC. I have lots of great memories at UIC, great location and this department and Kinesiology research has a strong history. Please share with anyone interested.

Looking for a Ph.D. student interested in skeletal muscle physiology. See attached for details

PREPRINT

Relative rDNA copy number is not associated with resistance training-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy and does not affect myotube anabolism in vitro

Nice work from Joshua Godwin & Mike Roberts

Want to maintain muscle?

Move more AND sit less.

In older adults (aged 68.7 years) followed over 5.5 years:

Every 10 min of daily moderate-vigorous physical activity increased (appendicular) lean mass by 0.5-0.8% per year.

Each 1 hour reduction in daily sedentary time…
