For example, sprinters usually have predominately Type IIB fast glycolytic muscle fibers, while distance runners have a larger proportion of slow - twitch,
high oxidative muscle fibers.
Not exact matches
Not only extremely
high in antioxidants combating the
oxidative stress but it has been reported to reduce delayed onset
muscle soreness (DOMS).
Hard exercise of any sort creates free radicals that cause some damage (called «oxidation») to your
muscles, cells and organs, and as your body repairs this damage, you experience biochemical adaptations that make you more resistant to future
oxidative damage from
high volume or
high intensity training.
Researchers worldwide are continuing to make seminal discoveries characterizing the unique properties of NR in a wide range of health benefits, including increased mitochondrial health, increased
muscle endurance, neuroprotection, sirtuin activation, protection against weight gain on
high - fat diet, protection against
oxidative stress and improvement of blood glucose and insulin sensitivity.
We all know how important regular exercise is for our physical, mental and emotional health, but strenuous anaerobic exercises have been reported to enhance the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS); which in turn can contribute to both the initiation and progression of
muscle fibre injury as well as impaired
muscle performance.4 Green Tea Extract (GTE) however has been clinically proven to prevent
oxidative stress induced by
high - intensity training and subsequent
muscle breakdown — once again thanks to its EGCG content.5
Hypertrophy of type I
muscle fibers, such as that seen in the present study, is important given that these fibers are more insulin sensitive [33]; they contain a greater
oxidative and mitochondria capacity, and
higher capillary density [32].
Most limb
muscle fibers in both greyhounds and crossbred dogs display
high oxidative activity (Gunn 1978a, Guy and Snow 1981).
