A sedentary lifestyle has been linked to a number of metabolic disorders that have been
associated with sub-optimal mitochondrial characteristics and an increased risk of …

Regularly performed endurance exercise induces major adaptations in skeletal muscle.
These include increases in the mitochondrial content and respiratory capacity of the muscle …

Since publication of its First Edition in 1981, Exercise Physiology has helped more than
350,000 students build a solid foundation of the scientific principles underlying modern …

Skeletal muscle is strongly dependent on oxidative phosphorylation for energy production.
Because the insulin resistance of skeletal muscle in type 2 diabetes and obesity entails …

Efforts to understand human physiology through the study of champion athletes and record
performances have been ongoing for about a century. For endurance sports three main …

Low‐volume 'sprint'interval training (SIT) stimulates rapid improvements in muscle oxidative
capacity that are comparable to levels reached following traditional endurance training (ET) …

Detraining is the partial or complete loss of training-induced adaptations, in response to an
insufficient training stimulus. Detraining characteristics may be different depending on the …

Endurance exercise induces increases in mitochondria and the GLUT4 isoform of the
glucose transporter in muscle. Although little is known about the mechanisms underlying …

Background While there is agreement that exercise is a powerful stimulus to increase both
mitochondrial function and content, we do not know the optimal training stimulus to …

Fourteen competitive cyclists who possessed a similar maximum O2 consumption (VO2
max; range, 4.6–5.0 l/min) were compared regarding blood lactate responses, glycogen …
