Objective: Regular exercise enhances cardiac function and modulates myocyte growth in
healthy individuals. The purpose of the present study was to assess contractile function and …

One of the main outcomes of aerobic endurance exercise training is the improved maximal
oxygen uptake, and this is pivotal to the improved work capacity that follows the exercise …

Physiological studies of long-term cardiovascular adaptation to exercise require training
regimens that give robust conditioning effects and adequate testing procedures to quantify …

Whereas novel pathways of pathological heart enlargement have been unveiled by thoracic
aorta constriction in genetically modified mice, the molecular mechanisms of adaptive …

Endurance exercise provides cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.
Exercise-induced cardioprotection is associated with increases in cytoprotective proteins …

Short‐term (6 weeks) voluntary wheel running exercise in young female rats that were in an
active growth phase resulted in whole‐heart hypertrophy and myocyte concentric …

Aims: To determine the effects of resistance training (RT) on the expression of microRNA
(miRNA)-214 and its target in sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA2a), and on the …

ABSTRACT A model of voluntary exercise, in which rats are given free access to a running
wheel over a 14-week period, led to left ventricular hypertrophy. To test whether the …
