The scientific evidence supporting the inclusion of resistance training as part of a healthy lifestyle is now indisputable. Whilst...

After receiving feedback from some of those who regularly visit my website and social media channels, there were some suggestions to provide a summarised or bottom-line version of some of my articles for those that are looking for...

Cyclists need to lift weights, period. I don’t want to, in this article, go into the performance-based data that supports this position. What I want to do is explore the growing body of scientific evidence that demonstrates that road...

This has been driven largely by the growing acknowledgment and concern related to the process of sacropenia that occurs with ageing whereby...
