Strength training refers to physical exercise designed to improve muscular strength, power, and endurance through resistance-based activities. Research published in Sports and Exercise Medicine examines strength training across diverse contexts, from extreme environments to clinical populations. Studies have investigated how prolonged spaceflight affects muscle mechanical properties, including changes in the triceps surae muscle's electromechanical characteristics and musculo-tendinous stiffness. The journal has explored strength-related outcomes in rehabilitation settings, including resistance exercise protocols for critically ill sepsis patients and the role of neuromuscular deficits in osteoarthritis development. Research on aging populations has examined hand grip strength as a nutritional assessment tool in long-term care and investigated how combined cognitive and aerobic training affects executive function in older adults. Additional work has addressed vitamin D's influence on balance capacity and fall risk, as well as emerging topics like intramuscular fat deposition in osteoarthritis pathology. Pediatric studies have analyzed biomechanical factors such as hip angle behavior during landing movements and hip flexion changes following soccer training in youth athletes. This body of work demonstrates the clinical and functional importance of strength training across the lifespan and in varied physiological conditions.
