Intermittent low‐intensity contractions cause a dissociation between maximal motor unit firing rates and changes in torque and contractile speed

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The purpose was to test: (1) whether the decline in maximal motor unit (MU) firing rate is an invariable response when maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torque is reduced following a submaximal muscle fatiguing task; and (2) whether fatigue‐induced slowing of contractile speed and firing rate decline are co‐dependent. Ten participants (three

Systemic pirfenidone treatment fails to mitigate fibrosis and compromises functional recovery in a porcine model of volumetric muscle loss

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Repurposing clinically approved antifibrotic agents presents a potential near‐term therapeutic strategy to mitigate the extensive fibrotic scarring that follows severe volumetric muscle loss (VML) injury and inhibits functional recovery. We hypothesized that daily oral administration of pirfenidone, an FDA‐approved antifibrotic, would mitigate

Association analysis of indel variants and gene expression identifies MDM4 as a novel locus for skeletal muscle hypertrophy and power athlete status

Experimental Physiology
Insertions and deletions (indels) are the second most common type of variation in the human genome. However, limited data on their associations with exercise‐related phenotypes have been documented.

Putting the brakes on muscle growth: Myostatin as regulator of disuse atrophy

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue that rapidly adapts to changes in mechanical loading and metabolic activity. Periods of inactivity, including bed rest, limb immobilization or microgravity, induce a pronounced loss of muscle mass and function.

Elevation of body temperature during exercise enhances protection against dexamethasone‑induced skeletal muscle atrophy

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged glucocorticoid exposure induces skeletal muscle atrophy through suppression of protein synthesis and activation of catabolic signalling pathways. Although exercise attenuates glucocorticoid‐induced muscle loss, whether exercise‐induced increases in body temperature contribute remains unclear.

Elucidating the cellular determinants of the end‐systolic pressure‐volume relationship of the heart via computational modelling

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Using a multiscale computational model of left ventricular electromechanics, we investigated how sarcomere dynamics influence the end‐systolic pressure‐volume (ESPV) relationship in ejecting beats compared to isovolumetric beats.

Intramuscular pathways of maladaptation in overtraining syndrome

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The transition from adaptive overreaching to maladaptive overtraining and mechanisms through which excessive training load can lead to performance decline. Four interconnected pathophysiological domains are highlighted: neural fatigue, involving both central and peripheral components such as altered sensory feedback and reflex ...

Antioxidant supplementation blunts the proteome response to 3 weeks of sprint interval training preferentially in human type 2 muscle fibres

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Sprint interval training (SIT) is a popular time‐efficient type of endurance training. Healthy young men performed nine SIT sessions (4–6 × 30 s all‐out cycling sprints) over 3 weeks while being supplemented with antioxidants (high doses of vitamins C and E) or placebo. Muscle biopsies taken before and after the first SIT session
