Effect of high intensity training on capillarization and presence of angiogenic factors in human skeletal muscle

The effect of intense training on endothelial proliferation, capillary growth and distribution of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was examined in human skeletal muscle. Two intermittent knee extensor training protocols (at ∼150% (Study 1) versus…
