Human skeletal muscle plasmalemma alters its structure to change its Ca2+-handling following heavy-load resistance exercise

Abstract High-force eccentric exercise results in sustained increases in cytoplasmic Ca2+ levels ([Ca2+]cyto), which can cause damage to the muscle. Here we report that a heavy-load strength training bout greatly alters the structure of the membrane network inside the fibres, the tubular (t-) system...
