Lifting weights for as little as three seconds a day can have a positive impact on muscle strength, a new study from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has discovered. A collaboration with researchers from ...

In a serendipitous discovery, UC San Diego researchers using cryo-EM technology captured the first visualizations of the 3-D structure of the muscle acetylcholine receptor in fetal and adult muscles.

Concentric exercises have the ability to increase the strength of your muscles, but you run the risk of injury when doing these training exercises. There are many type of concentric exercises, all of ...

New research by muscles guru Ken Nosaka from Edith Cowan University has found that the eccentric contraction – performed when the muscle is lengthened as when lowering weights – is the most effective ...
