Reevaluating Interference Effect in Exercise Physiology

This chapter reevaluates the historical molecular signaling interference hypotheses between strength training and aerobic exercise, shifting focus towards understanding muscle damage as a primary factor affecting recovery and adaptions in strength training. The complexities of post-workout signaling pathways are discussed, highlighting challenges in deciphering mechanisms due to redundancy. The importance of demand-led adaptation in physiology, satellite cell activation, and clarifying misconceptions about cardiovascular demand during weight training are also explored.
