Beer is a yeast-fermented alcoholic beverage consisting primarily of water, malted cereals, and hops (Young, n.d.). Although its alcohol content can vary from <1% to over 15%, the typical beer contains about 5% alcohol by volume (Logan et al., 1999).

Greater effects by performing a small number of eccentric contractions daily than a larger number of them once a week
Our previous study found that one maximal voluntary eccentric contraction (MVC-ECC) performed daily for 5 days a week for 4 weeks increased MVC-ECC, isometric (MVC-ISO), and concentric contraction (MVC-CON) torque of the elbow flexors more than 10%. The present study investigated the effects of six maximal voluntary eccentric contractions on the…
Massage Guns: Do they Really Work?
There is a lack of specific research on the effect of percussive therapy (PT) delivered by massage guns on physiological adaptations. This systematic literature review investigates research conducted on the effects of PT interventions on performance in strength and conditioning settings, and on experiences of musculoskeletal pain.
How the Gluteal Muscles Are Loaded During Different Strength & Rehabilitation Exercises
This study aimed to compare and rank gluteal muscle forces in eight hip-focused exercises performed with and without external resistance and describe the underlying fiber lengths, velocities, and muscle activations.
Is Running Bad for Your Knees?
Seventeen studies (6 level 2 studies, 9 level 3 studies, and 2 level 4 studies), with 7194 runners and 6947 non runners, met the inclusion criteria. The mean follow-uptime was 55.8 months in the runner group and 99.7 months in the non runner group.The mean age was 56.2 years in the runner group and 61.6 years in the non runner group.
Training Methods to Improve the Ability to Change of Direction
20 studies were analyzed to examine the effect of specific and non-specific training methods on pro-agility performance. Sprint training, specifically inclined sprint training, was found to have the largest per session training effect: inclined or resisted sprint training methods are…
Maximizing Strength: the Stimuli and Mediators of Strength Gains and Their Application to Training and Rehabilitation
Traditional heavy resistance exercise (RE) training increases maximal strength, a valuable adaptation in many situations. That stated, some populations seek new opportunities for pushing the upper limits of strength gains (e.g., athletes and military personnel).
Countering Jet-lag Before & After An Eastward Flight
Gradual Advance of Sleep-Wake Schedules Before an Eastward Flight and Phase Adjustment After Flight in Elite Cross-Country Mountain Bikers: Effects on Sleep and Performance.
The Muscle Morphology of Elite Female Sprint Running
This investigation illustrates the distinctive, anatomically specific muscle volume distribution that facilitates elite sprint running in females, and emphasizes the importance of hip flexor and extensor relative muscle volume.
