Discover how isometric exercise reduces pain, accelerates post-surgical recovery, and enhances performance. Learn the science and practical ways to add isometrics to your training today.

When you take a muscle through the full range of motion, it goes through three phases of muscle contraction: eccentric, isometric, and concentric. Placing more attention on one phase can yield ...

Time under contraction is not directly measured in a typical weight training program. Most people really don't even think about the number of seconds a given muscle is forced to work. Indirectly, ...

The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, according to a new study. The flow of water within a muscle fiber may dictate how quickly muscle can contract, ...

Increasing muscle temperature through warm-ups enhances contractile function and power, but maximum force remains unchanged, ...

A new study provides evidence that COVID-19 patients' heart damage is caused by the virus invading and replicating inside heart muscle cells, leading to cell death and interfering with heart muscle ...
