Muscle disuse leads to a rapid decline in muscle mass and reduced muscle protein synthesis (MPS).

Practitioners should be aware that muscle disuse can quickly lead to muscle loss and decreased protein synthesis.

Both traditional (MJ-SJ) and reverse (SJ-MJ) exercise orders are effective for increasing biceps brachii thickness over a 6-week resistance training period, with increases of +14.2% and +13.8% respectively.

Practitioners can use either exercise order to effectively increase biceps size in young men.

Only the traditional exercise order (MJ-SJ) resulted in a significant increase in mid-thigh thickness, with an increase of +7.2%.

To maximize mid-thigh hypertrophy, practitioners should consider starting with multi-joint exercises.

Exercise has emerged as a potent therapeutic in disease states characterized by the accelerated aging phenotype.

Implementing exercise programs can be crucial for managing diseases associated with aging.

An increase in muscular strength (16.3-32.1%) and lean soft-tissue (3.2-7.9%) was observed after the pre-conditioning phase.

The pre-conditioning phase is effective for improving strength and lean mass in older women.

Whey protein supplementation reduces spine muscle atrophy more than exercise alone during spaceflight simulation.

Incorporating whey protein supplementation may enhance the effectiveness of exercise in preventing muscle atrophy during prolonged bed rest.

Statistically significant improvements were noted in blood pressure, waist and hip circumference, systolic blood pressure, and mental wellbeing.

Monitoring health metrics can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of fitness programmes.

Protein supplementation is necessary for maximizing muscle mass gains during resistance training.

Practitioners should emphasize the importance of protein supplementation for clients engaged in resistance training.

Multimodal programs including performance, nutritional, and psychological interventions may improve postoperative outcomes for patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

Incorporating multimodal interventions may enhance the success of bariatric surgery for patients with dysglycemia.

The majority of respondents experienced improvements in laboratory values, including HbA1c, blood glucose measurements, and lipid panel results.

Practitioners can expect metabolic improvements in patients following low-carbohydrate diets.

Traditional-set structure (TRAD) showed greater muscle thickness of the proximal pectoralis major (g = -0.34) compared to cluster-set structure (CLUS).

Traditional-set structures may lead to better hypertrophy outcomes in the proximal pectoralis major.

The multi-ingredient supplement (SUPP) resulted in a greater increase in lean body mass (LBM) compared to the placebo (PL) after 10 weeks of resistance exercise training (RET) (SUPP: +4.1 ± 1.3 kg, PL: +2.8 ± 1.7 kg, P < 0.05).

Incorporating a high-quality multi-ingredient supplement may enhance muscle gain during resistance training.

The multi-ingredient supplement (SUPP) increased biceps brachii muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and thickness compared to the placebo (PL) group.

Using a multi-ingredient supplement may specifically enhance upper-body muscle development.

Remote interventions are feasible for older adults and can support fidelity, adherence, engagement, and clinically significant weight loss.

Practitioners can confidently use remote interventions to promote healthy aging in older adults.

Higher protein intake (HP) and moderate protein intake (MP) groups showed greater increases in skeletal muscle mass (SMM) compared to the lower protein intake (LP) group, with increases of 5.1% and 5.4% respectively, versus 2.3% for LP (P < 0.05).

Practitioners should encourage higher protein intake in older women to enhance muscle gains during resistance training.

Protein intake is a moderating variable for body recomposition in older women undergoing resistance training, with low protein intake having a less favorable effect.

Emphasizing adequate protein intake is crucial for optimizing body recomposition in older women engaged in resistance training.

Physical exercise improves vascular dysfunction in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Incorporating physical exercise into treatment plans for diabetic patients may enhance vascular health.

Resistance training correlates positively with glycemic control and improves vascular reactivity.

Incorporating resistance training into diabetes management plans may enhance glycemic control and vascular health.

Nutrition before, during and after a game or a high-intensity training session plays a fundamental role in the recovery of the basketball player.

Practitioners should emphasize nutritional strategies for recovery in basketball training and competition.

Exercise is a first-line prevention and intervention strategy for type 2 diabetes.

Practitioners should prioritize exercise as a key component in diabetes prevention and treatment.

TRAD showed greater muscle thickness of the proximal pectoralis major (g = -0.34) compared to CLUS.

Using traditional-set structures may lead to better hypertrophy outcomes in the proximal pectoralis major.

Athletes should consume protein in close temporal proximity to exercise to maximize muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and hypertrophy.

Athletes should prioritize protein intake immediately after workouts to enhance muscle recovery and growth.

Rapidly digested proteins with high proportions of essential amino acids (EAA), particularly leucine, are more effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS).

Choose rapidly digested proteins rich in leucine to enhance muscle recovery and growth.

Kraft- bzw. Hypertrophietraining kann Muskelatrophie entgegenwirken.

Practitioners should incorporate strength training to prevent muscle loss.
