Effects of Strength Training on Muscle Hypertrophy and Muscle Cell Disruption in Older Men

Abstract: To determine whether a total body, heavy resistance, strength training (ST) program can significantly increase muscle strength and hypertrophy without muscle cell disruption and soreness in older men, 35 sedentary male subjects between the ages of 50 and 69 years of age (60 +/- 5, mean +/- SD) were studied. Twelve served as inactive controls. Muscular strength, cross-sectional muscle area, serum creatine kinase (CK) activity and perceived soreness were assessed before and after a 16 wk heavy resistance ST prog… Show more

“…Thus, previous studies reported that elderly orienteer runners had SDH, CS and 3-hydroxy-acyl-CoA-dehydrogenase (HAD) activities at the same level as endurance trained young subjects [9,48]. Adaptability in other parameters such as maximal oxygen consumption and muscle strength has also been reported in elderly [19,20] and old people [7] and supports a general maintained ability of aged individuals to adapt to exercise training. However, it is yet not clarified whether lifelong exercise training will enhance the oxidative capacity in skeletal muscle and whether skeletal muscle of elderly people maintains the ability to adapt in metabolic and angiogenic factors to exercise training.…”

“…Previous research has shown that performing exercise at the same absolute and relative intensity after 16 weeks of exercise training designed to improve muscle hypertrophy results in a blunted CK response. 56 In addition, when trained weightlifters were compared with untrained individuals, the serum CK response to a strenuous resistance training session was lower in the weightlifters. 57 These data demonstrate that hypertrophied muscles can perform exercise without the same CK response as untrained muscles.…”

“…These differences are probably affected by the duration and the intensity of training (Buchheit, Voss, Nybo, Mohr, & Racinais, 2011;Hurley et al, 1995). However SGOT increased during the competitive period finding which the literature review supports.…”
