چکیده

This essay looks at the historical significance of two APS classic papers that are freely available online: Gollnick PD, Armstrong RB, Saubert CW IV, Piehl K, and Saltin B. Enzyme activity and fiber composition in skeletal muscle of untrained and trained men. J Appl Physiol 33: 312–319, 1972 (http://jap.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/33/3/312). Gollnick PD, Armstrong RB, Saltin B, Saubert CW IV, Sembrowich WL, and Shepherd RE. Effect of training on enzyme activity and fiber composition of human skeletal muscle. J Appl Physiol 34: 107–111, 1973 (http://jap.physiology. org/cgi/reprint/34/1/107).

Effect of Aerobic Exercise with Blood Flow Restriction on Mitochondrial Dynamics Proteins of Human Skeletal Muscles

Background: Aerobic exercise with Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) plays an important role in skeletal muscle adaptation; however, the effects of this type of exercise on mitochondrial dynamics proteins are unclear. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise with and without BFR on mitochondrial dynamics proteins of human skeletal muscles.  Methods: Pa...

Gene polymorphisms and fiber-type composition of human skeletal muscle.

The ability to perform aerobic or anaerobic exercise varies widely among individuals, partially depending on their muscle-fiber composition. Variability in the proportion of skeletal-muscle fiber types may also explain marked differences in aspects of certain chronic disease states including obesity, insulin resistance, and hypertension. In untrained individuals, the proportion of slow-twitch (...

Constitutively active calcineurin in skeletal muscle increases endurance performance and mitochondrial respiratory capacity.

Expression of an activated form of calcineurin in skeletal muscle selectively up-regulates slow-fiber-specific gene expression. Here, we tested the hypothesis that expression of activated calcineurin in skeletal muscle influences body composition, energy homeostasis, and exercise performance. Using transgenic mice expressing activated calcineurin (CnA*) in skeletal muscle (MCK-CnA* transgenic m...

Endurance training induces fiber type-specific revascularization in hindlimb skeletal muscles of rats with chronic heart failure

Objective(s): Previous studies showed that skeletal muscle microcirculation was reduced in chronic heart failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of endurance training on capillary and arteriolar density of fast and slow twitch muscles in rats with chronic heart failure. Materials and Methods: Four weeks after surgeries (left anterior descending (LAD) artery occlusion), chr...
