Honoured to work with and learn from this dream team. Thank you for the recognition AJP-Cell Physiology

Frequency isn’t the main driver of exercise adaptations.

But that doesn’t mean it’s not important.

Here’s 3 reasons why the “how often” part of the exercise equation matters:

SRMA: No effect of protein/AA provision in preventing disuse-induced muscle atrophy; need more high-quality trials

Anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) does not alter reduction in fasted and fed rates of myofibrillar protein synthesis following 2-week single-leg immobilization

Dideriksen, Reitelseder, Boesen, Zillmer, Jakob Agergaard Kjaer, Holm The Physiological Society

Blood flow restriction during bed rest does not modulate daily muscle protein synthesis rates and does not preserve muscle mass or strength

RT with a close proximity-to-failure can be sufficient to promote similar hypertrophy as reaching momentary muscular failure

'measures of muscle quality demonstrate divergent recovery rates following immobilization, with muscle mass lagging behind improvements in strength'

Ryan Girts Kylie K. Harmon Jonathan Beausejour Matt Stock, PhD et al.

a few thoughts Gregory Miller, Ph.D. This is a good study showing that in young adults (32 yr old), meal distribution is less important than total daily protein intake (90g/d). Meal distribution has ONLY been shown to be important in adults >50 yrs. Other points below:

Many potential benefits for people willing to use this exercise medium!

Awesome figure!

I will be advertising for another PhD student to begin working with me/the group in the coming weeks. Focus will be protein metabolism in Becker Muscular Dystrophy (funded by Muscular Dystrophy UK) with a flexible start date of July or October 2024. Please contact for more info

Increasing weight or increasing reps are both viable progression strategies for men and women to increase strength and muscle size in the early stages of RT

A review of public health guidelines for postpartum physical activity and sedentary behavior from around the world

There are significant benefits from consistent, simple weightlifting - even below World Health Organization (WHO) American College of Sports Medicine NSCA guidelines.

Most people need to engage and adhere, not optimize!

That paragraph is a personal favourite - thanks for featuring Jackson Fyfe, PhD 💪
