Extracellular matrix adaptation of tendon and skeletal muscle to exercise

Role of extracellular matrix in adaptation of tendon and skeletal muscle to mechanical loading.

The extracellular matrix (ECM), and especially the connective tissue with its collagen, links tissues of the body together and plays an important role in the force transmission and tissue structure maintenance especially in tendons, ligaments, bone, and muscle. The ECM turnover is influenced by physical activity, and both collagen synthesis and degrading metalloprotease enzymes increase with me...

Characteristics and Adaptation of Skeletal Muscle to Endurance Exercise

Skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise: a century of progress.

Skeletal muscle physiology and biochemistry is an established field with Nobel Prize-winning scientists, dating back to the 1920s. Not until the mid to late 1960s did there appear a major focus on physiological and biochemical training adaptations in skeletal muscle. The study of adaptations to exercise training reveals a wide range of integrative approaches, from the systemic to the molecular ...

First published March 27, 2012; doi:10.1152/ajpendo.00054.2012.—The pyridine nucleotides, NAD and NADH, are coenzymes that provide oxidoreductive power for the generation of ATP by mitochondria. In skeletal muscle, exercise perturbs the levels of NAD , NAD...
