“…Finally, integrative research in exercise should be combined with exercise medicine to further our understanding of the immense potential of exercise-based interventions to prevent and treat many chronic diseases in the general population ( 821 ), along with the use of training for injury rehabilitation in physical therapy. A better understanding in the athletic setting thus could and should inform interventions in the general population and in patients ( 822 ). For example, studies of resilience and motivation might also help to design approaches to facilitate and improve adherence and compliance to exercise training ( 823 – 825 ).…”

“…Insights into exercise physiology are leveraged in disease diagnostic, prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, e.g., the use of blood pressure measurements during exercise (exercise hypertension) to reveal undiagnosed or masked hypertension and predict cardiovascular disease risks ( 828 , 829 ). Many more areas exist in which concepts derived from elite sports will benefit non-athletes and patients ( 822 ). In this context, exercise sociology could contribute to overcome existing individual and societal challenges ( 830 ).…”

Human skeletal muscle demonstrates remarkable plasticity, adapting to numerous external stimuli including the habitual level of contractile loading. Accordingly, muscle function and exercise capacity encompass a broad spectrum, from inactive individuals with low levels of endurance and strength, to elite athletes who produce prodigious performances underpinned by pleiotropic training-induced muscular adaptations. Our current understanding of the signal integration, interpretation and output coordination of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern muscle plasticity across this continuum is incomplete. As such, training methods and their application to elite athletes largely rely on a "trial and error" approach with the experience and practices of successful coaches and athletes often providing the bases for "post hoc" scientific enquiry and research. This review provides a synopsis of the morphological and functional changes along with the molecular mechanisms underlying exercise adaptation to endurance- and resistance-based training. These traits are placed in the context of innate genetic and inter-individual differences in exercise capacity and performance, with special considerations given to the ageing athletes. Collectively, we provide a comprehensive overview of skeletal muscle plasticity in response to different modes of exercise, and how such adaptations translate from "molecules to medals".

Purpose: One hundred years ago, Hill and Lupton introduced the concept of maximal oxygen uptake (), which is regarded as “the principal progenitor of sports physiology.” We provide a succinct overview of the evolvement of research on , from Hill and Lupton‘s initial findings to current debates on limiting factors for and the associated role of convective and diffusive components. Furthermore, we update the current use of in elite endurance sport and clinical settings. Practical Applications and Conclusions: is a healthy and active centenarian that remains a very important measure in elite endurance sports and additionally contributes as an important vital sign of cardiovascular function and fitness in clinical settings. Over the past 100 years, guidelines for the test protocols and exhaustion criteria, as well as the understanding of limiting factors for , have improved dramatically. Presently, possibilities of accurate and noninvasive determination of the convective versus diffusive components of by wearable sensors represent an important future application. is not only an indicator of cardiorespiratory function, fitness, and endurance performance but also represents an important biomarker of cardiovascular function and health to be included in routine assessment in clinical practice.
