“…These studies were conducted with the help of Jim Skinner, who was one of Cureton's graduate students, and other members of the Fitness Research Laboratory. We found that exercise lowered serum triglycerides and improved heart function (70,71,118). However, what really fascinated me was the remarkable and rapid improvement in exercise capacity and endurance that occurred in response to the exercise training.…”

“…Endurance training is known to induce adaptations in the cardiovascular system and in skeletal muscle. Thus, maximal oxygen consumption (VO 2 max) increases in response to a training program due to an increase in cardiac stroke volume and the skeletal muscle adapts with increased vascularization and mitochondrial content (Holloszy et al 1964;Holloszy 2008). Likewise, metabolism adapts to the increased substrate turnover by an increased capacity for lipid oxidation and an increased activity of enzymes in the glycolytic and gluconeogenic pathways (Brooks and Mercier 1994;Essen-Gustavsson and Henriksson 1984).…”

“…By the middle 1960s there was mounting evidence that exercise or high levels of occupational physical activity were protective against the development of cardiovascular (CV) disease ( 129 ). While assigned to the Physical Fitness Laboratory at Illinois to study the endurance training programs pioneered by T. K. Cureton and in collaboration with Jim Skinner, Holloszy published three papers in 1964 on the effects of endurance training on fitness, body composition, blood lipids, and cardiac function in middle-aged men ( 88 , 89 , 166 ), providing some of the first data on these responses to exercise training. After these initial research efforts, and now back at Washington University, in 1965 his seventh paper, with H. T. Narahara, showed that contractions in frog muscles resulted in increased glucose uptake that was independent of insulin ( 85 ).…”
