The effects of eccentric phase tempo in squats on hypertrophy, strength, and contractile properties of the quadriceps femoris muscle by Filip Kojic, Danimir Mandic, Sasa Duric

“…TMG analysis revealed decreased Dm in the rectus femoris for both groups (p < 0.05), while Tc significantly (ES = 1.33, p < 0.01) increased in the SE group.DiscussionThese findings suggest that slower eccentric tempo in RT may optimize vastus lateralis hypertrophy and enhance strength while promoting muscle fiber-type specificity, contributing to the understanding of eccentric training’s role in muscle adaptation.…”

Effects of exercise on vascular remodelling and fetal growth in uncomplicated and abortion-prone mouse pregnancies by Evangeline A. K. Lovell, Shanna L. Hosking, Holly M. Groome, Lachlan M. Moldenhauer, Sarah A. Robertson, Kathryn L. Gatford, Alison S. Care

“…Abstract Studies in humans and rodents show exercise in pregnancy can modulate maternal blood pressure, vascular volume, and placental efficiency, but whether exercise affects early uteroplacental vascular adaptations is unknown. To investigate this, CBA/J female mice mated with BALB/c males to generate healthy uncomplicated pregnancies (BALB/c-mated) or mated with DBA/2J males to generate abortion-prone pregnancies (DBA/2J-mated), were subjected to treadmill exercise (5 days/week, 10 m/min, 30 min/day for 6 weeks before and throughout pregnancy), or remained sedentary. …”
