title: Olympic goal:  molecular and cellular approaches to understanding muscle adaptation.
abstract: Skeletal muscle is a plastic tissue showing adaptations to training that permit more physical work with less fatigue.  Delineation of basic mechanisms of these adaptations will allow the development of scientifically based programs of exercise as well as potential new drugs for the maintenance of physical fitness.
