A plethora of information is available concerning the phenotypic changes that occur in the skeletal muscle myosin patterns when the load placed on a muscle is changed. More recently, technological advances in molecular biology have facilitated investigations concerning how these changes at the protein level are mediated via transcription of the genome. The focus of this review will be the recent evidence concerning the regulation of transcription of the myosin isogenes in skeletal muscle. In addition, putative regulatory factors are discussed which may link an alteration in function to altered transcription of the genome.</p>","PeriodicalId":77060,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of sport sciences = Journal canadien des sciences du sport","volume":"16 3","pages":"210-22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12820238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The angular velocity of ankle plantarflexion during the stance phase declined markedly with age. A decrease in toe elevation during the swing phase and an increase in stance time in the process of aging suggested an increasing risk of stumbling over obstacles.

Endurance training and resistance training resulted in anticipated increases in aerobic endurance measures and strength, respectively, regardless of the sequence followed. Some maintenance of strength was observed during subsequent endurance training in Group SE. However, the improvements in peak VO2 and submaximal exercise responses that occurred after endurance training in Group ES were not maintained with subsequent LVR training.

Measures of cardiac function and gas exchange were made at rest, at 85% of the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT; WL1), and at peak exercise (WL2). EF increased from rest (58 +/- 12%) during WL1 (66 +/- 10%), reaching significantly higher values at WL2 (69 +/- 8%; p less than .05). End-diastolic volume increased from rest during WL1 (136 +/- 36 ml vs. 118 +/- 32 ml; p less than .05), becoming significantly higher than rest during WL2 (141 +/- 41 ml). End-systolic volume was unchanged from rest (51 +/- 25 ml) during submaximal exercise (50 +/- 20 ml), but it decreased significantly during WL2 (44 +/- 21 ml; p less than .05). The systolic pressure/end-systolic volume ratio increased from 3.0 +/- 1.7 (rest) to 5.8 +/- 3.0 at WL2 (p less than .05).
