Changing your rep range and your workout intensity can help you build more muscle, says an exercise scientist with decades of ...

Staying Strong: How to Prevent Muscle Loss as You Age Muscle loss is often considered an inevitable part of aging—but ...

What cardiologists say the findings may mean for you.

Statins are a cornerstone of heart health, but muscle pain and weakness cause many patients to quit taking them. Scientists have now identified the precise molecular trigger behind these side effects.

Muscles make up nearly 40% of the human body and power every move we make, from a child's first steps to recovery after ...

Biomedical engineers have developed lab-grown skeletal muscles able to flex like biologically grown ones and even heal themselves if they are damaged. Researchers have been working on engineered ...

Researchers identify brain neurons that become active after exercise and help determine how much endurance improves with repeated training.

“Our findings suggest that hibernating animals do not simply tolerate muscle damage during winter. Instead, they actively suppress muscle repair in a controlled and reversible way,” Miyazaki explains.

Scientists at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), using state-of-the-art genetic technology, have discovered the likely cause of a child's rare type of severe muscle weakness. The ...

UC labs are developing new treatments that don’t just prevent damage from getting worse, but — for the first time in medical ...

Statins reduce heart attack and stroke risk but can cause muscle pain in some users. A new study reveals statins trigger calcium leaks in muscle cells by binding to a key protein, explaining side ...
