    The Brookbush Institute Publishes a NEW Glossary Term: ‘Hypertrophy’

    The Brookbush Institute continues to enhance education with new articles, new courses, a modern glossary, an AI Tutor, and a client program generator.

    Hypertrophy is an increase in muscle mass/size due to an increase in the volume and cross-sectional area (CSA) of individual muscle cells.”
    — Dr. Brent Brookbush, CEO of Brookbush Institute

    NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, March 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Excerpt from the NEW Glossary Term: Hypertrophy
    – NEW Course: Hypertrophy Training: Evidence-based Model
    – Additional Glossary Term: Strength

    DEFINITION
    Hypertrophy: Hypertrophy is an increase in muscle mass/size due to an increase in the volume and cross-sectional area (CSA) of individual muscle cells. The increase in cross-sectional area can be attributed to an increase in contractile proteins and structural elements (myofibrillar hypertrophy), as well as an increase in glycogen storage and elements related to metabolism (sarcoplasmic hypertrophy). Hypertrophy is an adaptation of both cardiac and skeletal muscle fibers in response to progressive increases in workload.

    SEMANTIC CLARIFICATION
    Hypertrophy vs. hyperplasia
    – Muscle hypertrophy: Increase in size of existing muscle fibers, typically measured as fiber cross-sectional area or muscle thickness. Hypertrophy is the primary mechanism of muscle growth in response to resistance training and other forms of exercise.
    – Muscle hyperplasia: Increase in the number of muscle fibers. Animal models suggest hyperplasia can occur under extreme conditions; evidence in humans is limited and controversial.

    Myofibrillar vs. sarcoplasmic hypertrophy
    – Myofibrillar hypertrophy: Growth driven mainly by increased contractile protein content (actin and myosin) and myofibril packing. This is considered the dominant contributor to strength-relevant muscle growth. PMC+1
    – Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy: Disproportionate expansion of non-contractile components (sarcoplasm, enzymes, glycogen, fluid). Some high-volume protocols may transiently favor sarcoplasmic expansion, but current evidence suggests it is not a separate, superior “type” of growth; myofibrillar accretion remains central for long-term strength and function.

    Normal vs. pathological hypertrophy
    – Normal (physiological) hypertrophy: Physiological hypertrophy is the adaptive enlargement of skeletal muscle in response to growth, resistance training, and other repeated mechanical loading, supported by adequate nutrition and recovery. Strength, work capacity, and metabolic health generally improve in conjunction with gains in size, and the underlying muscle architecture remains organized. Normal hypertrophy also occurs in other tissues (for example, “athlete’s heart” in endurance and strength athletes). In the heart, physiological hypertrophy is characterized by preserved or enhanced cardiac function and a balanced increase in chamber size and wall thickness without fibrosis or clinical dysfunction.
    – Pathological hypertrophy: Pathological hypertrophy refers to enlargement of muscle or organs that are driven by disease processes or chronic, non-resolving stress, and is often accompanied by impaired function. In the heart, pathological hypertrophy is associated with fibrosis, altered cell signaling, and an increased risk of heart failure, arrhythmias, and adverse cardiovascular events, even though the myocardium is larger.

    Hypertrophy vs. strength
    – Hypertrophy: Morphological change (bigger muscle fibers).
    – Strength: Functional outcome (force production), influenced by hypertrophy, neural adaptations, tendon and connective tissue properties, and skill. Hypertrophy supports strength gains over time, but early strength changes are often dominated by neural adaptations.

  • Pyler to Take Center Stage at NVIDIA GTC 2026, Advancing Leadership in Video T&S and Brand Suitability

    Pyler to Take Center Stage at NVIDIA GTC 2026, Advancing Leadership in Video T&S and Brand Suitability

    From the stage to the show floor, Pyler is making its mark at the AI industry’s most anticipated event of the year.

    CA, UNITED STATES, March 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Pyler is set to make a high-profile debut at NVIDIA GTC 2026 this March in San Jose. The video understanding specialist will showcase its technology through a technical talk, a poster reception, and a dedicated exhibition booth.

    GTC has evolved into the definitive forum for the global AI industry, far outgrowing its roots as a corporate event. With NVIDIA’s GPUs now the lifeblood of AI development, GTC 2026 is poised to be a massive draw for the sector’s top-tier researchers and investors.

    Pyler’s Presence at GTC 2026

    Pyler’s participation begins on March 15, one day before the official conference opening. Pyler Research Lab will lead a poster reception titled “Scene-Aware Summarization for Long-Form and Multi-Video RAG,” pushing the boundaries of how AI interprets and retrieves complex video data.
    Throughout the week, Pyler will operate its exhibition booth as a hub for industry dialogue and host a private happy hour for stakeholders. The team is prepared to demo its technical roadmap and real-world impact in Trust & Safety (T&S) and Brand Suitability, areas where Pyler is rapidly setting new benchmarks.
    On March 19, the spotlight shifts to CEO Jaeho Oh. Taking the stage at GTC, his talk, “Scaling Trustworthy Multi-Modal Video Intelligence,” will peel back the curtain on how Pyler builds robust AI systems for high-stakes commercial environments.

    Accelerating Video AI Development with NVIDIA

    Pyler has accelerated its growth by leveraging NVIDIA’s cutting-edge technology since its founding in 2021. The company made waves in early 2025 as the first in Korea to deploy the NVIDIA Blackwell DGX B200 system. That momentum continued as Pyler secured the grand prize at the 2025 NVIDIA Inception Startup Grand Challenge, beating out a field of over 80 competitive startups.
    “GTC is the perfect stage to demonstrate the massive scale of video processing we’ve mastered alongside NVIDIA,” says a Pyler spokesperson. “We aren’t just participating; we’re here to cement our leadership in the video T&S space and scale our partner ecosystem globally.”

    About Pyler’s Video AI Platform

    At the heart of Pyler’s platform is Antares, its proprietary multimodal AI engine. Unlike legacy tools that rely on surface-level metadata, Antares analyzes video in real time to ensure ads never appear in brand-unsafe environments. It’s a level of precision that has already won over giants like Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, and Kenvue.
    Beyond the brand safety domain, Pyler is also expanding its infrastructure for Trust & Safety. Its tools are designed to detect and neutralize deepfakes and manipulated media before they go viral.
    “It’s an honor to stand on the GTC stage alongside the architects of the AI era,” says Jaeho Oh, CEO of Pyler. “As we scale our operations across the U.S., U.K., and Israel, we’re focused on one thing: providing the world’s most reliable infrastructure for large-scale video processing.”

    About Pyler

    Pyler is a video understanding AI company founded in 2021, developing multimodal AI technology for brand safety, contextual targeting, and T&S in video environments. Built on its proprietary Antares model, Pyler’s platform serves global clients in media, advertising, and platform safety. The company maintains a close technical collaboration with NVIDIA and was recognized as a top winner at the NVIDIA Inception Startup Grand Challenge 2025.

  • SETTING A NEW STANDARD IN EQUESTRIAN TRAINING: EQUESTIC INTRODUCES EQ COACH-COPILOT

    SETTING A NEW STANDARD IN EQUESTRIAN TRAINING: EQUESTIC INTRODUCES EQ COACH-COPILOT

    The first AI platform designed to support riders, coaches, and horses with real-time lesson capture and data-driven insights.

    BRABANTHALLEN, ’S-HERTOGENBOSCH , NETHERLANDS, March 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Equestic, a leading equestrian performance technology company, today announced EQ Coach-Copilot, an AI‑supported equestrian training platform that makes teaching more productive, learning more effective, and rider progress faster, ultimately improving horse welfare.

    By capturing training lessons in real time, structuring them into clear, actionable insights, and delivering guidance directly to riders during solo rides, EQ Coach-Copilot sets a new standard for personalized, data-backed equestrian development.

    For decades, equestrian training has relied on a combination of feel, experience, and expert guidance. While these are essential parts of the sport, they can create gaps and slow learning progress: Riders forget significant portions of their lessons; coaches lack visibility into solo rides between lessons; and horses can only communicate through subtle physical signals that are easy to miss. EQ Coach-Copilot addresses these gaps by combining the coach’s expertise with objective EQ Saddle-Clip data, accelerating a rider’s ability for deep learning, making progress, and developing feel.

    “EQ Coach-Copilot represents a shift from reactive coaching to intentional, data-supported training,” said Leon Rutten, Founder and CEO of Equestic. “It marks the next strategic step for our vision where technology gives horses a voice and helps advance teaching, learning and performance in the era of AI.”

    Closing the Learning Gap in Equestrian Training
    During lessons, riders have to follow coaching instructions, while juggling complex coordination, horse movements, and maintaining balance. This together creates a high cognitive load on a rider’s brain, leaving no space for actual learning. It also leads to slower progress in training as riders can’t use coach guidance when riding solo.

    Furthermore, during solo training, riders face new questions and challenges that their coaches never see and therefore do not get addressed. Because of this, even great coaches often end up working reactively, correcting only what is visible in the current lesson rather than the deeper patterns that create issues and restrain progress.

    EQ Coach-Copilot solves these challenges by capturing the lesson voice recordings of the coach, creating AI-powered summaries, and delivering actionable prompts directly to the rider while they train independently. Supported by EQ Saddle-Clip motion data — including rhythm, symmetry, impulsion, and workload balance — the platform helps riders develop deeper feel and make measurable progress. It also provides riders with the ability to record questions in the moment during solo rides, and reports on development progress to the coach ahead of the next lesson.

    Real-World Impact: Coaches Share Early Experiences

    Lendon Gray, Dressage Olympian, recipient of the 2024 US Equestrian Lifetime Achievement Award, and Founder and Chairman of Dressage4Kids, emphasized the importance of how the platform can change how her students learn between sessions: “I think the homework aspect is something a lot of us, as instructors, don’t pay enough attention to. When I get to the end of a lesson, I have my students give their horse a walk instead of stopping them and saying, now remember this and this. As teachers, we should be doing that, and having EQ Coach-Copilot do it for you, is even better. If you’re not keeping some sort of record of your lessons, you’re not giving yourself every opportunity to become the best rider you can become.”

    Laurens van Lieren, Dutch World and European Championship Medalist and current KNHS Technical Manager, highlighted the value of using AI in his coaching: “I was genuinely impressed by the quality and how quickly the summary came through — it was ready almost as soon as the lesson ended. EQ Coach-Copilot did a great job highlighting key areas, and I can see how helpful this will be for my students when they’re reviewing and trying to remember what they’ve learned. For me as a coach, it also helps to look back at previous lessons, pick up where we left off, and clearly track the progress we’re making with the rider.”

    Nuno Avelar, World Champion, FEI Trainer & International Dressage and Working Equitation Coach, notes the importance of continued progress between lessons: “As a coach working with riders and horses across many countries, I know how important it is to have a summary from the lessons ready to check out as often as it’s needed. No one can remember 100% of every word after a lesson. That’s where EQ Coach-Copilot helps on this matter.”

    Key Platform Features
    EQ Coach-Pilot is the first AI-powered coaching application designed to close the gap between lessons. Key features include:

    Capture & Clarify Coaching
    • Lesson voice recording and automated transcription
    • AI-powered, coach-tunable lesson summaries
    • Actionable feedback and a searchable lesson logbook
    • EQ Coach-Copilot Communicator device*

    Support Solo Training
    • On-demand coaching guidance*
    • Voice recording of rider questions and reflections*
    • Music adapted to the horse’s rhythm*
    • Reports combining EQ Saddle-Clip data and solo ride summaries*

    Control Horse Welfare & Rider Performance
    • Early detection indicators supporting injury prevention
    • Visibility into movement quality and training balance
    • Progress tracking through objective motion data

    A First-of-Its-Kind Training Platform
    EQ Coach-Copilot builds on seven years of real-world experience from the EQ Saddle-Clip, which has collected motion data from over 400,000 rides and horses worldwide. The platform transforms lessons into structured training units while protecting intellectual property — voice-captured content access is controlled jointly by coach and rider.

    Designed as human-centered technology, EQ Coach-Copilot complements the coach’s expertise, enabling scalable, highly personalized coaching and new business opportunities such as remote training.

    EQ Coach-Copilot available worldwide and free to download now from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

  • BBBS of San Diego County Announces ‘Sports Bigs Sisters’; Paralympian Beatriz Hatz Announced as Game Changer

    BBBS of San Diego County Announces ‘Sports Bigs Sisters’; Paralympian Beatriz Hatz Announced as Game Changer

    New program with two-time Paralympian Hatz empowers local girls and receives grant from the Alex Morgan Foundation

    Sports Bigs Sisters is dedicated to empowering girls through mentorship. We provide an accessible, inspiring environment where girls can discover sports and build the confidence they need to succeed.”
    — Tina Rose, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County

    SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, March 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of San Diego County is proud to announce the launch of Sports Bigs Sisters, a transformative initiative designed to empower girls ages 7 to 16 through sports. Supported by the Alex Morgan Foundation and featuring two-time Paralympic medalist Beatriz Hatz, this program provides a safe, all-girls environment where young girls can build confidence, discover new passions, and bridge the “confidence gap” through athletic experiences.

    “Sports Bigs Sisters is dedicated to empowering girls through mentorship. We provide an accessible, inspiring environment where girls can discover sports and build the confidence they need to succeed,” says Tina Rose, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County. “We are deeply grateful for the partnership of Paralympian Beatriz Hatz and a generous donation from the Alex Morgan Foundation. Their shared commitment to female youth empowerment allows us to provide these life-changing opportunities to girls throughout San Diego.”

    The program’s launch is highlighted by a special partnership with Beatriz Hatz, a Big Brothers Big Sisters Game Changer who secured a Bronze Medal in the Long Jump at the Paris 2024 Paralympics Games. Her journey, marked by 11 surgeries and a late start in track, serves as a living lesson in overcoming doubt through courage.

    “When I was younger, I didn’t always see someone who looked like me or understood my journey. That’s why I’m passionate about being the mentor and role model I wish I had growing up. Having a support system that believes in you can change everything—in sport and in life.” says Hatz.

    The Alex Morgan Foundation is a funder of the initiative, aligning its mission of supporting girls in sports and female empowerment with the mentorship model of Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County. This partnership is key to the San Diego community, as it provides resources for girls to discover sports.

    “The Alex Morgan Foundation is dedicated to creating equity and expanding access to sports for girls, which is why supporting this new program through Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County is so meaningful,” says Laura Wolf Stein, Executive Director of the Alex Morgan Foundation. “By supporting the Sports Bigs Sisters program, we are helping provide local girls with role models and memorable experiences rooted in sports. Together, we are helping more girls find their confident path forward in sport and in life.”

    Research indicates that 86% of girls feel more confident with a mentor, and 77% feel more confident specifically in sports when they have that support. Sports Bigs Sisters addresses this potential by providing low-stakes, high-impact athletic clinics where girls can explore a new sport without the pressure of traditional competitive leagues.

    Girls 7-16 interested in becoming a Little Sister can inquire at sdbigs.org/enroll for an invite to this exclusive event.
    Attendees will go behind the scenes of world-class training facilities and participate in an interactive track and field clinic. Hatz will show her signature long jump technique, demonstrating how resilience and a growth mindset can transform a person’s outlook. She will also share how a “support team” of mentors acted as her foundation, proving that no one has to run their race alone.

  • Advanced Biofuels Canada Comments on Affordability, Energy Security Benefits of Low Carbon Fuels

    Advanced Biofuels Canada Comments on Affordability, Energy Security Benefits of Low Carbon Fuels

    Data consistently show that biofuels save drivers money at the pump

    The economic and energy security benefits of Canadian-made biofuels are a cornerstone on which to build a resilient, secure, and affordable Canadian economy.”
    — Fred Ghatala, ABFC President

    VANCOUVER, CANADA, March 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Advanced Biofuels Canada Association (ABFC) released a statement by Fred Ghatala, President, on the stabilizing role of biofuels amidst current global crude oil supply shocks.

    “Surging crude oil and gasoline prices are impacting Canadian drivers and our economy. To the question of whether biofuels in our fuel supply are helping or hurting Canadians in the midst of this conflict, the facts are unequivocal: biofuels are dampening both price increases and price volatility resulting from an unstable geopolitical situation.

    The first reason is simple supply and demand economics. Restricted crude oil supplies have driven gasoline pump prices higher. Prices drop when more gasoline supplies are available. Canada’s average 10% ethanol content in gasoline provides that additional supply for Canada’s cars and light trucks. Economists call this ‘price elasticity.’ Without ethanol, pump prices would be substantially higher.

    This dynamic has been the subject of expert studies quantifying the fuel cost benefits of biofuel blending when global fossil fuel production is disrupted by war or sanctions. A 2014 study in the Libyan war era concluded that ethanol blending was suppressing gasoline prices by US$0.25/gallon, and a 2017 study calculated fuel savings associated with additional ethanol supply to be US$0.22/gallon under relatively quiet geopolitics. Older studies also show this relationship. Further, a 2022 expert study assessed the presence of 6% biomass-based diesel content in US diesel volumes to have reduced the cost of diesel by 4%, or US$0.22/gallon.

    Secondly, ethanol is cheaper than gasoline, and the price spread is growing. The most recent Biofuels in Canada report shows Canadian wholesale ethanol was 7.4 cents per litre cheaper than gasoline. More critically, the ‘gasoline-ethanol spread’ is wider now than it has been in years. Biofuel blended in gasoline (e.g. ethanol) reduced Canadian wholesale gasoline costs by $1.7 billion in 2024. Since 2010, ethanol has reduced wholesale gasoline costs by over $13.2 billion.

    Finally, biofuel and conventional fuel prices have responded asymmetrically to global energy instability. Since the start of the Iranian conflict, Canadian wholesale gasoline prices have risen by 28%, while wholesale ethanol prices have risen 5.5%. Moreover, the cost of feedstock for making gasoline – crude oil – has increased 35%, while ethanol feedstock – corn – has risen 2.5%, and biomass-based diesel feedstock – canola oil – has increased 5.8%. Biofuel in gasoline is already saving motorists money and also has lower price volatility relative to global energy instabilities.

    Ghatala concluded, “It’s easy, but inaccurate, to suggest that Canadians’ home finances would be stronger without biofuels, but the data do not support that theory. Furthermore, a domestic biofuel industry that utilizes Canadian farm crop feedstocks insulates us from the instability caused by global trade tensions by shoring up domestic supply of transportation fuels and lessening reliance on foreign markets and volatile trade policies. Experts estimate that biofuels add at least $6.4 billion every year to the Canadian economy; this figure is rapidly growing as Canadian production of biomass-based diesel has expanded significantly in the past few years. Federal, provincial, and territorial governments are actively renewing an industrial strategy for Canada’s fuel supply chains – the economic and energy security benefits of Canadian-made biofuels are a cornerstone on which to build a resilient, secure, and affordable Canadian economy.”
