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.

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.

Kraft- bzw. Hypertrophietraining kann Muskelatrophie entgegenwirken.

Practitioners should incorporate strength training to prevent muscle loss.

Regelmäßige progressive und erschöpfende Belastungsreize sind entscheidend für Hypertrophietraining.

Training programs should include varied and progressive overload to maximize hypertrophy.

Endurance exercise positively influences muscle protein turnover rates in people with obesity.

Incorporating HIIT may help improve muscle health in individuals with obesity.

Low-load blood flow restriction (BFR) training is an effective strategy to increase muscular adaptations when performed during resistance training.

Practitioners can consider incorporating low-load BFR training into resistance training programs to enhance muscular adaptations.

Single-set resistance training performed to failure elicits greater hypertrophy gains compared to submaximal effort, although differences are modest.

Practitioners may consider incorporating training to failure for enhanced muscle growth.

Both low-load and high-load resistance training produce similar increases in muscle size provided the training sets are performed to muscle failure.

Practitioners can consider both low and high loads effective for muscle growth if training to failure.

High-load resistance training elicits greater hypertrophy of both type I and type II muscle fibres than low-load training.

High-load training may be more beneficial for hypertrophying both muscle fiber types.

Short-term resistance training combined with leucine-enriched protein supplementation increases integrated myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) rates in young adults.

Incorporating leucine-enriched protein bars may enhance muscle protein synthesis during resistance training.

Short-term resistance training increases integrated myofibrillar protein synthesis (MyoPS) compared to rest.

Resistance training is effective for increasing muscle protein synthesis.
