The morphological and molecular characteristics of skeletal muscle in athletes with acquired training intolerance

The hypothesis, upon which this thesis is based, is that repeated bouts of damage-inducing, prolonged, endurance training and racing, over a number of years, may exceed the biological limits of the repair and adaptation process, resulting in maladaptation of the skeletal muscle and malfunctioning of the system.
