Resistance Exercise Reverses Aging in Human Skeletal Muscle

The following study is one of my favorites to discuss. The name says it all and is extremely powerful. Usually, scientists are very measured in their wording. You may see a study with a name such as this:

Eur J Sport Sci. 2016 Nov;16(8):1055-63. doi: 10.1080/17461391.2016.1185164. Epub 2016 May 27.
Effects of resistance training on expression of IGF-I splice variants in younger and older men.

Interleukin-15 Genotype, Random Writings

Well.. This is my first blog post to the new Exercise Science, LLC website. I will be posting more of my random writings from around the web on various subjects.

The first concerns the Interluekin-15 genotype and how it affects strength vs. muscle mass gains in response to a resistance program. This was originally posted in the bodybyscience.net discussion blog in response to a question.

Suresh,
“…is there any correlation as to how much strength gains(percentage gains) does it take to say gain a pound of muscle ie. have you observed any rough relationship that it takes roughly X percentage gains in strength to put a pound of muscle.” Read More...
