Aerobic conditioning alters the satellite cell and ribosome response to acute eccentric contractions in young men and women

Satellite cells (SCs) and ribosomes are key determinants of the skeletal muscle adaptive response. Both are thought to increase acutely after resistance exercise and chronically with resistance training. However, the acute SC and ribosome exercise response with prior aerobic conditioning is unknown. Fourteen young men and women underwent 6 wk of single-legged aerobic conditioning followed by an acute bout of 300 eccentric contractions on each …
