Cinahl plus with full text

PubMed, CINAHL Plus with Full Text via Ebsco, The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and OpenGrey databases were searched for all the indicated date range. A combination of the following key terms were used for the database searches: ’Exercis*’, ’Training*’, ’Biceps Femoris’, ’Hamstring*’, ’Knee Flexors’, ’Posterior Thigh’, ’Semitendinosus’, ’Semimembranosus’, ’ACSA’, ’Architectur*’, ’Cross Sectional Area’, ’Cross-sectional Area’, ’Fascic*’, ’Fiber Length’, ’Fibre Length’, ’Pennat*’, ’Pinnat*’, ’Muscle Thickness’, ’Muscle Volume’, ’Muscle Structure’, ’Muscle Length’ and ’PCSA’. When applicable, relevant MeSH terms for ’exercise’ were added to the key terms during the database searches. When "OR" bullion operator was employed within the key term groups, "AND" bullion operator was used between the key term groups. The last search of the databases was conducted on 6 June 2021; all the database searches are shown in the S1 File.
The first author performed the database searches. Once the searches of PubMed, CINAHL Plus with Full Text via Ebsco and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) database were completed, citations were exported to the Endnote^x9 citation manager [35 ]. The first author automatically removed duplicate citations through the Endnote citation manager.

The search strategy is shown in Additional file 1. Comprehensive search strategies were developed by an information specialist using a combination of subject headings and keywords and adapted for six electronic bibliographic databases. Searches were conducted in the following electronic databases: MEDLINE (via Ovid, 1946 to May Week 1 2013), Embase (via Ovid, 1980 to 2013 Week 19), PsycINFO (via Ovid, 1806 to May Week 1 2013), Health and Psychosocial Instruments (HaPI; via Ovid, 1985 to April 2013), CINAHL Plus with Full Text (via EBSCOhost, 1937 to May 2013) and PubMed (1980 to June 2014). No language or publication-type restrictions were applied. References were downloaded into EndNote X4.0.2 (Thomson Reuters, New York, NY, USA).

We searched MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL Plus with Full Text (EBSCO), PsycINFO (Ovid), Cochrane CENTRAL (Cochrane Library), Web of Science, and Dissertations and Theses Global (ProQuest). Searches employed both controlled vocabularies, such as Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), and keywords representing concepts such as: (hypertension or blood pressure) AND (chronic kidney disease or chronic renal insufficiency) AND (telemedicine or virtual monitoring). The search was conducted by our medical librarian (L.H.) and the strategy was reviewed for completeness and accuracy using Peer Review of Electronic Search Strategies (PRESS)^{26 (link)}
by a second research librarian. No limitations or filters were used, and search strategies were adapted for each database (Supplementary Table S1).
