Eleven sedentary and seven regularly exercising subjects (65.6 +/- 4. 5 yr) were characterized for their aerobic fitness [maximal O(2) uptake (VO(2 max))/kg fat free mass (FFM)] and their habitual daily physical activity level [free-living daily energy expenditu...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle mitochondrial capacity in people with multiple sclerosis
BACKGROUND People with multiple sclerosis (MS) have functional disability and may have reduced muscle mitochondrial capacity.
