Intensity-Specific Training Adaptations To Exercise In Females, Julianna P. Mereu
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
Previous studies examining the effects of exercise training on metabolism have primarily used males as participants. It has been shown that as little as one hour of aerobic exercise in males leads to the alteration of several metabolic enzymes, including phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glucose-6-phosphate (G6Pase). Changes in glycogen content and differences in the usage of glycogen for fuel following exercise training have also been shown in male rats. However, it is unclear whether females demonstrate the same training related metabolic adaptations as males.
Therefore, the purpose of this project was to examine various metabolic responses to an acute exercise …
