The ageing‐related loss of muscle mass is thought to be partly attributable to motor neuron loss and motor unit remodelling that result in fibre type grouping. We examined fibre type grouping in 19‐ to 85‐year‐old athletes and non‐athletes and evaluated to which extent any observed grouping is explained by the fibre type composition of the muscle. Since regular physical activity may stimulate reinnervation, we hypothesised that fibre groups are larger in master athletes than in age‐matched non‐athletes. Fibre type grouping was assessed in m. vastus lateralis biopsies from 22 young (19‐27 years) and 35 healthy older (66‐82 years) non‐athletes, and 14 young (20‐29 years), 51 middle‐aged (38‐65 years) and 31 older (66‐85 years) athletes. An ‘enclosed fibre’ was any muscle fibre of a particular type surrounded by fibres of the same type only. A fibre type group was defined as a group of fibres with at least one enclosed fibre. Only type II fibre cross‐sectional area (FCSA) showed an age‐related decline that was greater in athletes (p < 0.001) than in non‐athletes (p = 0.012). There was no significant age‐related effect on fibre group size or fibre group number in athletes or non‐athletes, and the observed grouping was similar to that expected from the fibre type composition. At face value these observations do 1) neither show evidence for an age‐related loss and remodelling of motor units nor 2) improved reinnervation with regular physical activity, but 3) histological examination may not reveal the full extent of ageing‐related motor unit remodelling.

(Wiley-Blackwell, 2022)For women, menopausal transition is a time of significant hormonal changes, which may contribute to altered body composition and regional adipose tissue accumulation. Excess adiposity, and especially adipose tissue ... -
Comparison of working memory performance in athletes and non-athletes : a meta-analysis of behavioural studies
Wu, Chenxiao; Zhang, Chenyuan; Li, Xueqiao; Ye, Chaoxiong; Astikainen, Piia (Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2024)The relationship between sports expertise and working memory (WM) has garnered increasing attention in experimental research. However, no meta-analysis has compared WM performance between athletes and non-athletes. This ... -
Muscle follistatin gene delivery increases muscle protein synthesis independent of periodical physical inactivity and fasting
Nissinen, Tuuli A.; Hentilä, Jaakko; Fachada, Vasco; Lautaoja, Juulia H.; Pasternack, Arja; Ritvos, Olli; Kivelä, Riikka; Hulmi, Juha J. (John Wiley & Sons, 2021)Blocking of myostatin and activins effectively counteracts muscle atrophy. However, the potential interaction with physical inactivity and fasting in the regulation of muscle protein synthesis is poorly understood. We used ...
