Skeletal Muscle Physiology
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the project is to investigate the proteome signature dynamics and remodelling in human skeletal muscle induced by exercise training
Interventions
Subjects perform a period of endurance training
Subjects perform a period of resistance training
Subjects perform a period of sprint training

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Anabolic signaling | Change in anabolic signaling from rest to 1 hour following resistance exercise both at baseline and following 8 weeks of resistance training | Western blotting of proteins related to anabolic signaling |
| Skeletal muscle proteome signature | Change from baseline at week 6 or 8 depending on the intervention | Pathway enrichment analysis of the muscle proteome |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Maximal oxygen consumption | Change from baseline at week 6 following endurance and sprint training | VO2max during incremental exercise |
| Body composition | Change from baseline at week 6 or 8 depending on the intervention | Lean and fat mass during dual X-ray absorptiometry |
| Satellite cells | Change from baseline at week 8 following resistance training | Immunohistochemistry to determine number of satellite cells |
| Fiber size | Change from baseline at week 8 following resistance training | Immunohistochemistry to determine fiber size |
| Myonuclei | Change from baseline at week 8 following resistance training | Immunohistochemistry to determine number of myonuclei |
| Skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration | Change from baseline at week 6 following endurance and sprint training | High resolution respirometry |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Skeletal muscle mitochondrial supercomplexes | Change from baseline at week 6 following endurance and sprint training | Pathway enrichment analysis of mitochondrial supercomplexes |
