Honored to get this award. I really appreciate initiatives like this that support young researchers. Grateful also to the colleagues and mentors who made this possible
Congratulations to Oscar Horwath (The Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences), the winner of our 2024/25 Early Career Author prize!
Oscar's winning research article investigated how ageing impacts type I and type II myofibre properties in human muscle!

Our latest study on muscle adaptation to high- and low-load resistance exercise training.
It is fascinating to me that the muscle adapts in nearly the exact same manner despite being subjected to widely different stimuli (20-25 vs 3-5 reps)

Comparable Strength and Hypertrophic Adaptations to Low-Load and High-Load Resistance Exercise Training in Trained Individuals: Many Roads Lead to Rome
The muscular and myocellular adaptations to low-load resistance exercise training (LL-RET) remain incompletely understood, particularly in the trained state. The primary aim of this study was to exami...

Our contribution to the special call Skeletal Muscle Fiber Heterogeneity now out in Skeletal Muscle
New #SkeletalMuscle paper: Endurance exercise with reduced muscle glycogen content influences substrate utilization and attenuates acute mTORC1- and autophagic signaling in human type I and type II muscle fibers. #Myoblue tinyurl.com/4brsea2d
Endurance exercise with reduced muscle glycogen content influences substrate utilization and attenuates acute mTORC1- and autophagic signaling in human type I and type II muscle fibers - Skeletal Musc...
Background Exercising with low muscle glycogen content can improve training adaptation, but the mechanisms underlying the muscular adaptation are still largely unknown. In this study, we measured subs...
