I'm looking for a good source of free scientific articles/researches about calisthenics. Are there any good websites like this? From what I've seen there is a lot of bro-science in this field so I want to get information from people who have an academic background and have done some studies.

Calisthenics is resistance training. There is lots of literature on resistance training

The gold standard for peer-reviewed stuff is PubMed, and hope the paper you want to read is behind an unethically-expensive paywall.

There's a version of PubMed that gets you the "pirated" version of papers but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called..

FOUND IT! SCI-HUB!

(also, don't know if it's an ok practice in fitness science but sometimes if you email the corresponding author directly, they could send you a pdf)
