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 …

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 …

Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous tissue comprised of fibers with different morphological,
functional, and metabolic properties. Different muscles contain varying proportions of fiber …

We previously reported an “athlete's paradox” in which endurance-trained athletes, who
possess a high oxidative capacity and enhanced insulin sensitivity, also have higher …

Purpose The relationship between six descriptors of lactate increase, peak VO2, Wpeak,
and 1-h cycling performance were compared in 24 trained, female cyclists (peak VO (2) …

Endurance exercise training induces a significant increase in the respiratory capacity of
skeletal muscle. This is reflected by a training-induced increase in mitochondrial enzyme …

Team sport athletes require a high level of aerobic fitness in order to generate and maintain
power output during repeated high-intensity efforts and to recover. Research to date …

of training duration on substrate turnover and oxidation during exercise. J. Appl. Physiol. 81 …

In previously untrained individuals, endurance training improves peak oxygen uptake (. VO
2peak), increases capillary density of working muscle, raises blood volume and decreases …

We investigated the hypothesis that a program of prolonged endurance training, previously
shown to decrease metabolic perturbations to acute exercise within 5 days of training, would …
