TLDR
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.Abstract:
Brief, intense exercise training may induce metabolic and performance adaptations comparable to traditional endurance training. However, no study has directly compared these diverse training strategies in a standardized manner. We therefore examined changes in exercise capacity and molecular and cellular adaptations in skeletal muscle after low volume sprint-interval training (SIT) and high volume endurance training (ET). Sixteen active men (21 +/- 1 years, ) were assigned to a SIT or ET group (n = 8 each) and performed six training sessions over 14 days. Each session consisted of either four to six repeats of 30 s 'all out' cycling at approximately 250% with 4 min recovery (SIT) or 90-120 min continuous cycling at approximately 65% (ET). Training time commitment over 2 weeks was approximately 2.5 h for SIT and approximately 10.5 h for ET, and total training volume was approximately 90% lower for SIT versus ET ( approximately 630 versus approximately 6500 kJ). Training decreased the time required to complete 50 and 750 kJ cycling time trials, with no difference between groups (main effects, P </= 0.05). Biopsy samples obtained before and after training revealed similar increases in muscle oxidative capacity, as reflected by the maximal activity of cytochrome c oxidase (COX) and COX subunits II and IV protein content (main effects, P </= 0.05), but COX II and IV mRNAs were unchanged. Training-induced increases in muscle buffering capacity and glycogen content were also similar between groups (main effects, P </= 0.05). Given the large difference in training volume, these 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.read more

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exercising in a cold environment increases MFO and Fatmax, predominantly during treadmill exercise, and the implication of ambient temperature on energy metabolism over a wide range of exercise intensities is validated.

TL;DR: Hormones secreted by cells of the endocrine system regulate activity of cells in other parts of the body, they can be released in response to exercise-induced stress, and, among other multiple functions, they modulate metabolism during exercise.

Adaptations of skeletal muscle to endurance exercise and their metabolic consequences
J. O. Holloszy,Edward F. Coyle +1 more
TL;DR: The major metabolic consequences of the adaptations of muscle to endurance exercise are a slower utilization of muscle glycogen and blood glucose, a greater reliance on fat oxidation, and less lactate production during exercise of a given intensity.

Exercise induces transient transcriptional activation of the PGC-1α gene in human skeletal muscle
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exercise induces a dramatic transient increase in PGC‐1α transcription and mRNA content in human skeletal muscle, consistent with its role as a transcriptional coactivator, and suggest that PGC•1α may coordinate the activation of metabolic genes in human muscle in response to exercise.
