Large energetic adaptations of elderly muscle to resistance and endurance training

Abstract: This study determined the cellular energetic and structural adaptations of elderly muscle to exercise training. Forty male and female subjects (69.2 +/- 0.6 yr) were assigned to a control group or 6 mo of endurance (ET) or resistance training (RT). We used magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging to characterize energetic properties and size of the quadriceps femoris muscle. The phosphocreatine and pH changes during exercise yielded the muscle oxidative properties, glycolytic ATP synthesis, and contractile … Show more

“…Physical exercise is the only intervention thus far that has been shown to significantly improve muscle strength in older individuals (Latham et al ., 2004). In addition, there is literature support for the positive role of resistance exercise and elevated levels of aerobic physical activity on mitochondrial content and function in the elderly (McCully et al ., 1993; Brierley et al ., 1996; Jubrias et al ., 2001), presenting a coherent picture with our current results. Together, these studies provide strong support for exploration of such interventions as an important prescriptive step in retaining functional mobility and independence with aging.…”

“…15 Cellular oxidative capacity was also enhanced after 6 months of aerobic and resistance training in older patients. 16 Since aerobic training in older men was shown not to affect blood volume 4 and cardiac stroke volume at a given intensity of exercise, 17 the increase in V · O 2peak is likely caused by an accelerated oxygen extraction rate in thigh muscle rather than by increased oxygen delivery due to increased maximal cardiac output.…”

“…13 The lactate/pyruvate (LP) ratio is an established indirect serum marker of mitochondrial dysfunction, 13,14 as the impaired oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria is associated with excessive hydrolysis of ATP and production of more protons, which drives the equilibrium reaction from pyruvate to lactate, leading to an increased LP Physical Activity and Endothelial Function ratio. 13, 14 Although exercise training has been reported to augment mitochondrial content and function in human skeletal muscle, [15][16][17] there is limited evidence on whether physical activity modulates mitochondrial function in high-risk CAD patients. Therefore, we hypothesized that the endothelial dysfunction associated with lower PAL is related to the occurrence of mitochondrial dysfunction.…”
