Combined aerobic and resistance exercise training alters the spatial transcriptome of skeletal muscle in young adults

Michael J. Stec, Zachary Graham, Qi Su…·Marcas M. Bamman

This study examines how combined aerobic and resistance exercise training affects the spatial transcriptome of skeletal muscle in young adults, identifying fiber type-specific gene expression changes and shifts in interstitial cell populations.
