A more disturbing phenomenon, however, is that of younger runners becoming exercise intolerant. One study described exercise intolerance in athletes who were only 40 +/- 10 years old. The muscle of these athletes had greater levels of markers of structural pathology and showed evidence of having undergone more regeneration compared to age- and mileage-matched apparently healthy athletes. The authors attributed their intolerance to exercise to their large volumes of endurance training and racing which compromised their skeletal muscle. Therefore, the objective of this thesis was to examine the effects of chronic exposure to endurance running on the athlete, with particular emphasis on skeletal muscle. 2014-07-28T18:14:22Z 2014-07-28T18:14:22Z 2007 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3196 eng application/pdf Department of Human Biology Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
