In this review, we focus on the role of exercise in altering the molecular landscape of skeletal muscle in a manner that improves or maintains its health and function in the presence of unloading or disease.Įpigenetics exercise muscle wasting resistance training skeletal muscle Accordingly, exercise has shown great promise and efficacy in preventing or slowing muscle wasting through changes in molecular physiology, organelle function, cell signaling pathways, and epigenetic regulation. The principal mechanisms controlling muscle mass have been well described and these cellular processes are intricately regulated by exercise. Decline in muscle mass contributes to multimorbidity, reduces function, and exerts a substantial, negative impact on the quality of life. However, unloading from extended bed rest and/or metabolic derangements in response to trauma, acute illness, or severe pathology, commonly results in rapid muscle wasting. The tissue has evolved to be largely load dependent and it readily adapts in a number of positive ways to repetitive overload, such as various forms of exercise training. The overall mass and energy requirements of skeletal muscle require it to be metabolically active and flexible to multiple energy substrates.

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in healthy individuals and it has important roles in health beyond voluntary movement.
