Heat shock proteins (HSP) are cellular chaperones that regulate protein metabolism. Aging elicits reductions in HSP expression; however, elevated levels of HSP70 may be neuroprotective against the deleterious effects of aging. PURPOSE: To observe the concentration of HSP70 expression, cognitive performance, and self-perceived pain following one hour of aerobic exercise or whole-body passive heating in older adults. METHODS: Twenty-four older adults (68.1±4.6 yrs, 27.1±4.0 kg/m2, 12 female) randomly completed either one hour of moderate-intensity walking on a treadmill (TM), one hour of seated passive heating (HEAT) in a controlled environmental heat chamber (34 to 40ºC, 30% …

Individuals born preterm have significantly impaired adaptability in maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 max) with exercise training. We have hypothesized that this impaired response is linked to immature mitochondrial development and maladaptation resulting from early birth. PURPOSE: This project is multifaceted with the overarching aim to measure mitochondrial respiration in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and assess for potential mitochondrial genome variants and heteroplasmy that may explain poor adaptability in VO2 max with training. The purpose of this report is to confirm poor adaptability in VO2 max in preterm adults. METHODS: This is an ongoing project. Young …
