The effect of a single bout of exhaustive exercise on muscle lactate transport capacity was studied in rat skeletal muscle sarcolemmal (SL) vesicles. Rats were assigned to a control (C) group (n = 14) or an acutely exercised (E) group (n = 20). Exercise consisted of treadmill running (25 m/min, 10% grade) to exhaustion. SL vesicles purified from C and E rats were sealed because of sensitivity t...

UNLABELLED Regular running and strength training are the best ways to improve aerobic capacity and develop the size of skeletal muscles. However, uncontrolled physical activities can often lead to an undertraining or over-training syndrome. In particular, overtraining causes persistent fatigue and reduces physical performance due to changes in the various physiological and immunological factors...

Many degenerative diseases are associated with increased oxidative stress. Creatine has the potential to act as an indirect and direct antioxidant; however, limited data exist to evaluate the antioxidant capabilities of creatine supplementation within in-vivo human systems. This study aimed to investigate the effects of oral creatine supplementation on markers of oxidative stress and antioxidan...

Swimming performance of fish is often improved following periods of moderate exercise training. To examine the effects of training regimes on swimming performance of juvenile bream Megalobrama pellegrini (5.10 ± 0.08 g), fish were held in slow-flowing water (control), or subjected to exercise training at 1 body length (BL) s−1, 2 BL s−1 or 4 BL s−1, or were given exhaustive chasing training dai...
