Attenuated increase in maximal force of rat medial gastrocnemius muscle after concurrent peak power and endurance training

TL;DR: Even by using task-specific recruitment of the compartmentalized rat GM, additional endurance training interfered with the adaptive response of peak power training and attenuated the increase in maximal force after power training.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reinforcement versus Fluidization in Cytoskeletal Mechanoresponsiveness

TL;DR: It is shown here that in loading conditions expected in most physiological circumstances the localized reinforcement response fails to scale up to the level of homogeneous cell stretch; fluidization trumps reinforcement.
Journal ArticleDOI

The muscle fiber type–fiber size paradox: hypertrophy or oxidative metabolism?

TL;DR: New experimental data and an inventory of critical stimuli and state of activation of the signaling pathways involved in regulating contractile and metabolic protein turnover reveal higher capacity for protein synthesis in high compared to low oxidative fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptation of muscle size and myofascial force transmission: a review and some new experimental results

TL;DR: This paper considers the literature and some new experimental results important for adaptation of muscle fiber cross‐sectional area and serial sarcomere number, finding that general rules for the regulation of adaptation cannot be derived.
