1. 01

   Time course for strength and muscle thickness changes following upper and lower body resistance training in men and women.

   European journal of applied physiology·2000·n=20125 influential citations

   The purpose of this study was to investigate the time course of skeletal muscle adaptations resulting from high-intensity, upper and lower body dynamic resistance training (WT). A group of 17 men and 20 women were recruited for WT, and 6…

2. 02

   Creatine for Exercise and Sports Performance, with Recovery Considerations for Healthy Populations.

   Nutrients·2021review104 influential citations

   Creatine is one of the most studied and popular ergogenic aids for athletes and recreational weightlifters seeking to improve sport and exercise performance, augment exercise training adaptations, and mitigate recovery time. Studies…

3. 03

   Effect of creatine supplementation during resistance training on lean tissue mass and muscular strength in older adults: a meta-analysis.

   Open Access J Sports Med·2017·n=721Review84 influential citations

   The loss of muscle mass and strength with aging results in significant functional impairment. Creatine supplementation has been used in combination with resistance training as a strategy for increasing lean tissue mass and muscle strength…

4. 04

   Quadriceps EMG/force relationship in knee extension and leg press.

   Medicine and science in sports and exercise·200082 influential citations

   <h4>Purpose</h4>This study compared the relationship between surface electromyographic (EMG) activity and isometric force of m. quadriceps femoris (QF) in the single-joint knee extension (KE) and the multi-joint leg press (LP)…

5. 05

   The role of resistance training and creatine supplementation on oxidative stress, antioxidant defense, muscle strength, and quality of life in older adults.

   Front Public Health·2023·n=45RCT76 influential citations

   BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of resistance training (RT) with creatine monohydrate supplementation (CS) on serum levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione peroxidase…

6. 06

   Creatine supplementation during resistance training in older adults-a meta-analysis.

   Med Sci Sports Exerc·2014·n=357Meta-Analysis69 influential citations

   INTRODUCTION: Age-related sarcopenia and dynapenia have negative effects on strength and the ability to perform activities of daily living. Resistance training (RT) increases muscle mass and strength in older adults and is an established…

   Finding: Creatine combined with resistance training improved the 30-s chair stand test more than resistance training alone.

7. 07

   Early phase adaptations of muscle use and strength to isokinetic training.

   Medicine and science in sports and exercise·199962 influential citations

   The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of short periods of isokinetic resistance training on muscle use and strength. Seven men trained the right quadriceps femoris muscles (QF) 9 d for 2 wk using 10 sets of 5 knee…

8. 08

   The effects of different resistance training protocols on muscular strength and endurance development in children.

   Pediatrics·1999·n=1657 influential citations

   <h4>Background</h4>Previous research has shown that children can increase their muscular strength and muscular endurance as a result of regular participation in a progressive resistance training program. However, the most effective…

9. 09

   Effects of low-load resistance training with vascular occlusion on the mechanical properties of muscle and tendon.

   Journal of applied biomechanics·200656 influential citations

   The present study aimed to investigate the effects of low-load resistance training with vascular occlusion on the specific tension and tendon properties by comparing with those of high-load training. Nine participants completed 12 weeks (3…

10. 10

    Slower fatigue and faster recovery of the adductor pollicis muscle in women matched for strength with men.

    Acta physiologica Scandinavica·1999·n=954 influential citations

    In previous gender comparisons of muscle performance, men and women rarely have been closely matched, absolute force has not been equalized, and rates of fatigue and early recovery have not been determined. We compared adductor pollicis…
