Eccentric Exercise Increases Satellite Cell Content in Type II Muscle Fibers
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Satellite cells (SCs) are of key importance in skeletal muscle tissue growth, repair, and regeneration. A single bout of high-force eccentric exercise has been demonstrated to increase mixed muscle SC content after 1-7 d of postexercise recovery. However, little is known about fiber type-specific changes in SC content and their activation status within 24 h of postexercise recovery.
METHODS: Nine recreationally active young men …
