Abstract
Background:Emerging data have revealed a negative association between adiposity and muscle quality (MQ). There is a lack of research to examine this interaction among young, healthy individuals, and to evaluate the contribution of adiposity to adaptation after resistance exercise (RE).Objective:The purpose of this investigation was to examine the influence of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) on muscle function among non-obese individuals before and after RE.Design:Analyses included 634 non-obese (body mass index 30 kg m 2) subjects (253 males, 381 females; age23.35.2 years). SAT and muscle mass (magnetic resonance imaging-derived SAT and biceps muscle volume), isometric and dynamic biceps strength, and MQ (strength/muscle volume), were analyzed at baseline and after 12 weeks of unilateral RE.Results:At baseline, SAT was independently associated with lower MQ for males (Β0.55; P0.01) and females (Β0.45; P0.01), controlling for body mass and age. Adaptation to RE revealed a significant negative association between SAT and changes for strength capacity (Β0.13; p0.03) and MQ (Β0.14; P0.01) among males. No attenuation was identified among females. Post-intervention SAT remained a negative predictor of MQ for males and females (Β0.47; P0.01).Conclusions:The findings reveal that SAT is a negative predictor of MQ among non-obese, healthy adults, and that after 12 weeks of progressive RE this association was not ameliorated. Data suggest that SAT exerts a weak, negative influence on the adaptive response to strength and MQ among males. © 2011 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved.
