Repeated, episodic bouts of skeletal muscle contraction undertaken frequently as structured
exercise training are a potent stimulus for physiological adaptation in many organs …

Interval exercise typically involves repeated bouts of relatively intense exercise interspersed
by short periods of recovery. A common classification scheme subdivides this method into …

Engaging in regular exercise results in a range of physiological adaptations offering benefits
for exercise capacity and health, independent of age, gender or the presence of chronic …

Key points A classic unresolved issue in human integrative physiology involves the role of
exercise intensity, duration and volume in regulating skeletal muscle adaptations to training …

Insulin resistance plays a key role in the development of type 2 diabetes. It arises from a
combination of genetic predisposition and environmental and lifestyle factors including lack …

It is debated whether exercise-induced ROS production is obligatory to cause adaptive
response. It is also claimed that antioxidant treatment could eliminate the adaptive response …

Endurance-sport athletes have a high incidence of gastrointestinal disorders, compromising
performance and impacting overall health status. An increase in several proinflammatory …

Skeletal muscle metabolic and contractile properties are reliant on muscle mitochondrial
and myofibrillar protein turnover. The turnover of these specific protein pools is …

Key points Low‐volume high‐intensity exercise training promotes muscle mitochondrial
adaptations that resemble those associated with high‐volume moderate‐intensity exercise …

The majority of sports rely on concurrent training (CT; eg, the simultaneous training of
strength and endurance). However, a phenomenon called “Concurrent training effect”(CTE) …
