Key Points: A paternal high-fat diet/obesity before mating can negatively influence the metabolism of offspring. Exercise only early in life has a remarkable effect with respect to reprogramming adult rat offspring exposed to detrimental insults before conception. Exercise only early in life normalized adult whole body and muscle insulin resistance as a result of having a high-fat fed/obese father.

Article Synopsis
- Skeletal muscle contraction boosts glucose uptake without relying on insulin, and mechanical strain from muscle stretching also promotes glucose uptake, but the exact process is unknown.
- Research examined whether nitric oxide synthase (NOS) plays a role in this stretch-stimulated glucose uptake by using isolated muscles from mice with different NOS isoforms and pharmacological inhibitors.
- Findings showed that passive stretching significantly increased glucose uptake regardless of NOS presence or activity, indicating that NOS isn't a key factor in this process.
Purpose: To investigate the interaction between the development of peripheral locomotor muscle fatigue, muscle recruitment and performance during repeated-sprint exercise (RSE).
Method: In a single-blind, randomised and cross-over design, ten male team-sport athletes performed two RSE (fifteen 5-s cycling sprints interspersed with 25 s of rest; power self-selected) in normoxia and in acute moderate hypoxia (FIO2 0.138).
