Aerobic Exercise Preconditioning Does Not Augment Muscle Hypertrophy During Subsequent Resistance Exercise Training in Healthy Older Adults
Aerobic exercise preconditioning increases type I and type II muscle fiber capillarization in healthy older adults. Aerobic exercise preconditioning does not further increase muscle hypertrophy during subsequent resistance exercise training in healthy older adults. Both structural and functional microvascular characteristics do not seem to restrict the skeletal muscle adaptive response to resistance-type exercise training in healthy older adults.
