Article Synopsis
- The study examined the structural and functional characteristics of patellar and Achilles tendons in young men engaged in heavy resistance training compared to those who are recreationally active but not weight training.
- It found that resistance-trained men had significantly greater lean body mass and bone mineral density, along with increased stiffness in the patellar tendon, while the Achilles tendon showed a larger cross-sectional area.
- Despite these anatomical differences, serum collagen turnover markers showed no significant variation or correlation with tendon properties, suggesting complex interactions at play regarding tendon adaptations to resistance training.

J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2024-To study the effects of long-term (>35 years) competitive weightlifting on acute endocrine activity, a 51-year-old male two-time Olympian in weightlifting (Subject A) was compared with highly trained young male weightlifters (controls, n = 23; age = 17.

- Electronic handgrip dynamometry was used to measure various aspects of muscle function in both upper and lower extremities among resistance-trained adults, but the links between these muscle functions were previously unknown.
- A study involving 30 adults found that strength was significantly correlated between dominant limbs for both upper (r = 0.76) and lower (r = 0.67) extremities, indicating that handgrip strength may reflect overall muscle strength.
- The research highlighted that while strength correlations were common across age groups, differences emerged in RFD and endurance, suggesting that handgrip dynamometry could serve as a valuable tool for assessing muscle function in diverse populations.
The purpose of this review is to delineate aspects of energy metabolism at rest and during exercise that may be subject to sex differences and the potential underlying mechanisms involved. It focuses on distinct aspects of female physiology with an oriented discussion following the reproductive life stages of healthy, eumenorrheic females, including premenopausal time frames, pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause. Finally, this review aims to address methodological challenges surrounding sexual dimorphism in energy metabolism investigations and confounding factors in this field.
