BiaBrain Vol. 1 Issue 5: Key Studies on Muscle Growth, Vegan Protein, and Vascular Health

Welcome to the fifth issue of Bia-Brain, co-authored by Holly T. Baxter and Samuel L. Buckner. In this issue we break down a 2024 paper examining the effects of different exercise selection on lower body muscle growth following 8-weeks of training.

Is the leg press more effective than the knee extension? Check that out in this month’s issue! We also discuss a 2024 paper (pre-print) examining muscle growth adaptations between lengthened partials training and full range of motion training.

Do lengthened partials live up to all the social media hype? Gain greater insight in this month’s issue! In addition to these, we examine a recent paper comparing a high protein vegan diet to a high protein omnivorous diet. Can we get impressive gains without animal based proteins? Learn the answer in this month’s issue!

Finally, we review a paper that examines the impact of capillarization on skeletal muscle growth in older individuals. Those who are sedentary tend to have less robust blood flow. Do these vascular adaptations impact the ability to respond to a muscle growth stimulus?

Dive into this issue for a comprehensive understanding of these pivotal topics in the fitness and nutrition realm.
