Figure 7.

Diagram of the experimental protocol. Each volunteer performed a bout of resistance exercise (RE) consisting of 10 sets of eight repetitions of isometric knee extension at 80% of the predetermined one-repetition maximum with a single leg. Biopsies were obtained 6 and 18 hours after RE in both the exercised and non-exercised (contralateral) leg. Arrows denote the three comparisons of gene expression in the biopsy samples.
