Research Impact: Current literature has investigated the nutritional regulation of acute and chronic exercise-induced metabolic adaptations in muscle following endurance exercise, principally comparing the impact of training in fasted and carbohydrate-fed (CHO) conditions. Alternative strategies […]
Research Impact: In this paper we document the relationship between maximal strength level and the reliability of an isometric squat test in two isometric squat positions (120° and 90° knee angle) using a heterogeneous sample of […]
