Effects of Core Instability on Muscle Activity
January 15, 2019by Developing the Core
Potentially, an instability training program that first involves static balance and then progresses to dynamic balance activities would improve intrinsic balance. This improvement in balance would increase movement confidence, releasing the neuromuscular system from a stiffening strategy to more unimpeded motion, force, and power development.

Evidence-Based Guidelines for Resistance Training Volume to Maximize Muscle Hypertrophy
June 19, 2018by Yann Le Meur, PhD
The manipulation of resistance training (RT) variables is widely considered an essential strategy to maximize muscular adaptations. One variable that has received substantial attention in this regard is RT volume. This infographic provides evidence-based guidelines as to volume when creating RT programs designed to maximize muscle hypertrophy.
