Velocity-Based Training for Adolescent Athletes: Safety Evidence Review
The safety evidence on VBT with adolescents: how it caps fatigue without 1RM testing, why peak height velocity changes guidance, and where gaps remain.
Resistance Training and Longevity: Does Strength Training Reduce Mortality?
Large epidemiological studies link resistance training to a 15-23% drop in all-cause mortality risk. Here is the dose-response data and likely mechanisms.
Drop Sets Effectiveness for Hypertrophy: Better Than Straight Sets?
Do drop sets build more muscle than straight sets? EMG, MRI, and biopsy data show exactly when they help—and when they just burn recovery capacity.
Resistance Training and Mental Health: Depression and Anxiety
Feeling low and wondering if lifting helps? A 33-trial meta-analysis found resistance training cuts depression, effect size -0.66, regardless of volume.
Bar Velocity Feedback Effects on Resistance Training Performance
Real-time bar velocity feedback raises power output, but the timing of the cue changes the result: concurrent versus terminal cueing, compared directly.
