About the Project

We know that exercise training modifies cardiovascular and respiratory responses to exercise. Previously we have shown that this can be due to a combination of, altered thin fibre muscle afferent feedback from the trained muscle and altered feedforward or central command. The present project is designed to investigate the spread of the training effect generated by training of a single muscle group to the whole body and the mechanisms by which this occurs.

Funding Notes

Good English essential.
