Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy

This study tested whether taking whey protein together with collagen peptides helps resistance-trained men build more muscle and bone density than either supplement alone or a placebo. Forty healthy men aged 18–35 who already lifted weights took one of four supplements for 8 week…

This study tested a Turkish version of the Johns Hopkins In-Room Independence Scale, which measures a patient's ability to move, use the toilet, and think clearly while in their hospital room. Researchers worked with 100 adults who had conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, or ampu…

This study looked at how common muscle and posture problems are in physiotherapy students and whether a special physiotherapy program could help. 44 students with back pain and muscle tightness received treatments like trigger point release, stretching, and joint mobilization. Th…

This study looked at whether letting patients control their own sedation during arm surgery under regional anesthesia leads to higher satisfaction compared to having an anesthesiologist control it. 70 adults having upper limb orthopedic surgery were randomly assigned to either pa…

This study translated the Generic Functional Index, a questionnaire that measures how well people can do daily activities, into Turkish. Researchers tested it with 200 adults who have muscle or joint problems to see if it is accurate and reliable. The goal is to give Turkish-spea…

This study looked at whether adding extra carbohydrates to a daily protein supplement helps resistance-trained men build more muscle and strength. Twenty-five men took either a protein-only or a protein-plus-carb supplement for 8 weeks each. The results showed no significant diff…

This study tested whether doing light arm exercises with a blood pressure cuff on the upper arm (blood flow restriction) can build biceps muscle as well as lifting heavy weights. Thirty-three healthy young men who had never done arm training before followed an 8-week program. Res…

This study tested whether specially trained physiotherapists can safely diagnose and treat non-urgent muscle and joint pain in the emergency room, compared to standard care from doctors. 102 patients with back, neck, or shoulder pain were randomly assigned to either a physiothera…

This study looked at whether lifting light weights (30% of your max) until you can't do another rep builds muscle and strength as well as lifting heavy weights (75% of your max) in healthy young men who don't usually lift. Twenty-two men did leg exercises three times a week for s…

This study looked at 30 healthy adults who already lift weights regularly. Researchers compared two training methods: one that adjusts weights based on movement speed (velocity-based) and one that uses fixed percentages of maximum strength. The goal was to see which method leads …

This completed study looked at how children (ages 9-13) and adults (ages 18-50) respond to 12 weeks of resistance exercise using either flywheel or traditional weight stack machines. 91 healthy participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: flywheel training, weight …

This completed study compared how well people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), people with other muscle or bone pain, and healthy individuals can imagine movements. Researchers used a questionnaire called the MIQ-RS to measure motor imagery skills. The goal was to see …

This study surveyed 116 adults with chronic pain at a rehabilitation clinic to understand how their pain beliefs, spiritual well-being, and attitudes toward complementary and alternative medicine are related. Participants filled out several questionnaires about their pain, mood, …

This study looked at how resistance exercise and leg immobilization affect muscle protein production in 15 healthy women aged 18-30. Participants did leg exercises with one leg while the other leg was immobilized. Researchers measured changes in muscle protein synthesis and break…
