Muscle atrophy during resistance training… Huh?

Learn more in the thread🧵below or by reading our new @MSSEonline paper🏋️ (1/12)

Is muscle fiber type composition (MFTC) important in professional football⚽️?🧵
In our new SJMSS paper we investigated if
1) fast and slow typology players naturally gravitate to/get selected for specific positions
2) MFTC impacts match running performance

@4mth_hr Congratulations Raki!!

[Thibaux Van der Stede @ThibauxV]

Are all fibers in skeletal muscle created equal? How important are myosin heavy chains isoforms? In a joint effort between @TeamDerave and @AtulDeshmukh lab, we tried to answer these (and more) questions. #myotwitter #muscle A 🧵on our preprint (1/24)

Fantastic presentation by @KimVanVossel on a possible muscle reallocation mechanism when only performing single joint RT exercises

Very excited to present for the first time on #ECSS2023 with a poster about genetic variants influencing the effectiveness of dietary supplements.

Great talk by @KimVanVossel at the @E_C_S_S conference #ECSS2023 🏋️‍♂️

[Freek Van de Casteele @CasteeleFreek]

Excited to present my research on non-invasive assessment of muscle fiber type composition at ECSS.

And maybe even more excited to see my international sports research friends back :)

Hope to see you soon!

@KimVanVossel, @HardeelJulie, @CasteeleFreek, @ThibauxV, Weyns, @JanBoone2906, @eline_lievens, Derave (@BSW_UGent) and Blemker (@UVABME) question if muscle typology can explain the inter-individual variability in resistance training adaptations!

Thanks @joaonunesjpn for highlighting our work with @KimVanVossel, @HardeelJulie and @eline_lievens on myotypes and strength training

An interesting piece from our friends at Ghent University. They used a Springbok Analysis to better understand factors that contribute to the variability in gains after resistance training.

Check it out. ⬇️

3. Consequently, this study indicates the importance of shifting from the use of traditional load-repetition tables to individualized testing and training prescriptions. (6/6)

[Kim Van Vossel @KimVanVossel]

Excited to share our new paper 'Muscle typology influences the number of repetitions to failure during resistance training' in @EurJSportSci!

What did we find? 👇🧵

[Kim Van Vossel @KimVanVossel]

2. 1RM is often estimated based on the number of repetitions performed at a submaximal load using traditional prediction equations. Yet, this might lead to an underestimation of 1RM in fast typology individuals and an overestimation in the slow typology individuals. (5/6)

[Alex Hutchinson @sweatscience]

Cool study compares fast-twitch and slow-twitch ppl strength-training one arm/leg 2X/wk and the other arm/leg 3X/wk.

Key result: both groups (surprisingly) made similar muscle and strength gains.

BUT slow-twitchers needed ~25% more reps to hit failure.

[TeamDerave @TeamDerave]

Thanks, Alex, for highlighting our recent work so eloquently 💪
"Slow-twitchers probably need to do more reps than fast-twitchers to get a comparable stimulus. Three workouts a week trumps two for muscle size. And you can’t blame your muscle fibers for your failure to bulk up."
