Revisiting Sarcomerogenesis: New Insights

This chapter explores a groundbreaking study on sarcomerogenesis, particularly focusing on the biceps femoris muscle adaptations resulting from eccentric training. The hosts discuss the significance of increased fascicle lengths over a nine-week period and the impact of detraining, all while critiquing the presentation of research findings in the scientific community. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of understanding physiological mechanisms and the limitations of short-term studies in validating long-term muscle adaptation theories.
