Skeletal muscle is a malleable tissue capable of altering the type and amount of protein in
response to disruptions to cellular homeostasis. The process of exerciseinduced adaptation …

Sex‐related differences in physiology and anatomy are responsible for profound differences
in neuromuscular performance and fatigability between men and women. Women are …

For centuries, regular exercise has been acknowledged as a potent stimulus to promote,
maintain, and restore healthy functioning of nearly every physiological system of the human …

When human skeletal muscle is exposed to exercise training, the outcomes, in terms of
physiological adaptation, are unpredictable. The significance of this fact has long been …

This chapter is devoted to the role of genetic variation and gene-exercise interactions in the
biology of adaptation to exercise. There is evidence from genetic epidemiology research that …

Needle biopsy samples were taken from vastus lateralis muscle (VL) of five male body
builders (BB, age 27.4±0.93 years; mean±sem), who had being performing hypertrophic …

Background It has been established that excellence in sports with short and long exercise
duration requires a high proportion of fast-twitch (FT) or type-II fibers and slow-twitch (ST) or …

The energetics of cycling represents a well‐studied area of exercise science, yet there are
still many questions that remain. Efficiency, broadly defined as the ratio of energy output to …

Purpose The present study identified the physiological and performance characteristics that
are deterministic during a maximal 1500-m time trial and in paced 1500-m time trials, with an …

This study is aimed to examine the muscle fiber type, composition and satellite cells in
young male soccer players and to correlate them to cardiorespiratory indices and muscle …
