Study on Biological Characteristics of Structural and Functional Remodelling in Skeletal Muscle: Effect of Exercise | Chapter 14 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol. 2

The goal of this study was to investigate the differences and similarities in structural-functional skeletal muscle rearrangements in endurance and resistance training, as well as the impact of these alterations on endurance and strength capability. For more than a half-century, scientists have studied the effects of locomotory exercise on skeletal muscle structure and function. The manner of action has a clear impact on these changes. Resistance and endurance exercise training, as well as their intensity and length, have varied effects on metabolic pathways, skeletal muscle architecture, protein synthesis and degradation rates, neuromuscular junctions, and muscle spindles. Comparisons of morpho-functional changes in different skeletal muscle fibre types may aid an exercise biologist, sport physician, endurance and strength specialist in better understanding the nature of specificity of different training modes on an organism's functional capacity and developing exercise training strategies for both recreational and elite athletes.
