Effect of Resistance Training on Extracellular Matrix Adaptations in Skeletal Muscle of Older Rats

Effect of Resistance Training on Extracellular Matrix Adaptations in Skeletal Muscle of Older Rats

Accumulation of connective tissue, particularly extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, has been observed in skeletal muscles with advancing age. Resistance training (RT) has been widely recommended to attenuate age-induced sarcopenia, even though its effects on the components that control ECM turnover...
