Skeletal muscle is an extremely plastic tissue capable of altering its structure and function to a range of physiological stimuli. This course will discuss how changes in activity (either exercise or disuse) contribute to the remodelling of skeletal muscle. An emphasis will also be placed on understanding the role nutrition plays in enhancing the recovery from and/or adaptation to exercise. Populations to be discussed may include recreationally active individuals, elite and sub-elite athletes, and/or special populations (e.g. older adults). Focus will be placed on understanding the role protein metabolism plays in the dynamic remodeling of this tissue.
