Journal ArticleDOI
Short‐term sprint interval versus traditional endurance training: similar initial adaptations in human skeletal muscle and exercise performance
Martin J. Gibala,Jonathan P. Little,Martin Van Essen,Geoffrey Wilkin,Kirsten A. Burgomaster,Adeel Safdar,Sandeep Raha,Mark A. Tarnopolsky +7 more
TL;DR: Data demonstrate that SIT is a time‐efficient strategy to induce rapid adaptations in skeletal muscle and exercise performance that are comparable to ET in young active men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-volume high-intensity interval training reduces hyperglycemia and increases muscle mitochondrial capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes
Jonathan P. Little,Jenna B. Gillen,Mike Percival,Adeel Safdar,Mark A. Tarnopolsky,Zubin Punthakee,Mary E. Jung,Martin J. Gibala +7 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that low-volume HIT can rapidly improve glucose control and induce adaptations in skeletal muscle that are linked to improved metabolic health in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A practical model of low‐volume high‐intensity interval training induces mitochondrial biogenesis in human skeletal muscle: potential mechanisms
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a practical model of low volume HIT is a potent stimulus for increasing skeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity and improving exercise performance and suggested that increases in SIRT1, nuclear PGC‐1α, and Tfam may be involved in coordinating mitochondrial adaptations in response to HIT in human skeletal muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of global mRNA expression in human skeletal muscle during recovery from endurance exercise
TL;DR: This study is the first to characterize global mRNA expression during recovery from endurance Exercise, and the results provide potential insight into 1) the transcriptional contributions to homeostatic recovery in human skeletal muscle after endurance exercise, and 2) the adaptive processes that occur after a period of endurance exercise training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endurance exercise rescues progeroid aging and induces systemic mitochondrial rejuvenation in mtDNA mutator mice
Adeel Safdar,Jacqueline M. Bourgeois,Daniel I. Ogborn,Jonathan P. Little,Bart P. Hettinga,Mahmood Akhtar,James E. Thompson,Simon Melov,Nicholas J. Mocellin,Gregory C. Kujoth,Tomas A. Prolla,Mark A. Tarnopolsky +11 more
TL;DR: It is shown that 5 mo of endurance exercise induced systemic mitochondrial biogenesis, prevented mtDNA depletion and mutations, increased mitochondrial oxidative capacity and respiratory chain assembly, restored mitochondrial morphology, and blunted pathological levels of apoptosis in multiple tissues of mtDNA mutator mice.
