Journal ArticleDOI

Six sessions of sprint interval training increases muscle oxidative potential and cycle endurance capacity in humans

Kirsten A. Burgomaster, +4 more
- 01 Jun 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that short sprint interval training (approximately 15 min of intense exercise over 2 wk) increased muscle oxidative potential and doubled endurance capacity during intense aerobic cycling in recreationally active individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Repeated transient mRNA bursts precede increases in transcriptional and mitochondrial proteins during training in human skeletal muscle

Christopher G. R. Perry, +5 more
- 01 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: The training‐induced increases in transcriptional and mitochondrial proteins appear to result from the cumulative effects of transient bursts in their mRNAs, and training-induced mitochondrial biogenesis appears to involve re‐modelling in addition to increased mitochondrial content.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two weeks of high-intensity aerobic interval training increases the capacity for fat oxidation during exercise in women

Jason L. Talanian, +4 more
- 01 Apr 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that seven sessions of HIIT over 2 wk induced marked increases in whole body and skeletal muscle capacity for fatty acid oxidation during exercise in moderately active women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of short-term sprint interval training on human skeletal muscle carbohydrate metabolism during exercise and time-trial performance

Kirsten A. Burgomaster, +2 more
- 01 Jun 2006 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that short-term SIT improved cycling TT performance and resulted in a closer matching of glycogenolytic flux and pyruvate oxidation during submaximal exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triacylglycerol accumulation in human obesity and type 2 diabetes is associated with increased rates of skeletal muscle fatty acid transport and increased sarcolemmal FAT/CD36.

Arend Bonen, +8 more
- 07 May 2004 - 
TL;DR: FAT/CD36 provides another potential therapeutic target for the prevention and/or treatment of insulin resistance and the increased rate of fatty acid transport may contribute to the increased rates of triacylglycerol accumulation in human skeletal muscle.
