Muscle fibre capillarization is a critical factor in muscle fibre hypertrophy during resistance exercise training in older men Vrije Universiteit Brussel
BACKGROUND: Adequate muscle fibre perfusion is critical for the maintenance of muscle mass; it is essential in the rapid delivery of oxygen, nutrients and growth factors to the muscle, stimulating muscle fibre growth. Muscle fibre capillarization is known to decrease substantially with advancing age. However, whether (relative) low muscle fibre capillarization negatively impacts the muscle hypertrophic response following resistance exercise ...

Myonuclear content and domain size in small versus larger muscle fibres in response to 12 weeks of resistance exercise training in older adults Vrije Universiteit Brussel
AIM: To assess the relation between muscle fibre hypertrophy and myonuclear accretion in relatively small and large muscle fibre size clusters following prolonged resistance exercise training in older adults.
METHODS: Muscle biopsies were collected before and after 12 weeks of resistance exercise training in 40 healthy, older men (70 ± 3 years). All muscle fibres were ordered by size and categorized in four muscle fibre size clusters: ...
