This week David has the pleasure of being joined by Dr. Vandre Casagrande Figuieredo, a post - doctoral researcher at the University of Kentucky, Lexington.

 

Dr. Figuieredo's main interests is in the role of ribosome biogenesis in muscle hypertrophy regulation. Vandre previously studied at the prestigious Karolinska institute, Sweden.

 

In this episode David and Vandre discuss:

 

Q1. What are ribosomes? 
 
Q2. What is ribosome biogenesis and what role does it play in muscle hypertrophy?
 
 
Q3. From a practical perspective, is there anything we can do / should not do to maximise ribosome biogenesis following resistance training.

In this episode David is joined by Dr. Kevin Murach. Dr. Murach is a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Kentucky. 

Kevin has a PhD. in human bioenergetics and his PhD. research was in conjunction with NASA aiming to design optimal exercise programs for astronauts to minimise the detrimental impact of decreased gravity. 

Kevin's current research interests are in concurrent training and in this episode David and Kevin discuss:

 

Q1. What is concurrent training?
 
Q2. Where did the idea that endurance training hinders muscle gain come from?
 
Q3. What effect does concurrent training have on muscle hypertrophy potential? 
 
     - Overview of molecular adaptations of resistance and endurance training. 
     - What is the interference effect? What does the evidence show is the relationship    between mTOR and AMPK?
    - What are satellite cells and what is their role in muscle hypertrophy? What impact does resistance and endurance training have on satellite cells?
  - The results of Kevin's  review on muscle growth with concurrent training. 
 
Q4. What effect does concurrent training have on strength and power? Would the significance be greater for advanced trainees?
 
Q5. What are the practical applications / recommendations can we give for anyone who wants to do aerobic exercise but also maximise muscle hypertrophy?
