Identifying major hypertrophy stimuli and their sensors is one of the big remaining questions in exercise physiology. However, experimentally this is difficult to achieve: This partly may explain why there is still a large amount of uncertainty in the field, despite many studies. In this episode, Professor Henning Wackerhage gives us an update on potential candidates. . . . _______________________ Prof. Wackerhage studied and obtained his doctorate at the German Sport University in Cologne. He then became a lecturer in sports physiology at the University of Central Lancashire before moving to the University of Dundee and then as senior lecturer and reader to the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. Since 2016 he has been an Associate Professor of Sport Biology at the TUM. Prof. Wackerhage is a Molecular Exercise Physiologist and has published three textbooks in this field. He is specifically interested in the molecular mechanisms by which exercise improves our fitness and health. Focal points are the role of the so-called Hippo proteins in skeletal muscle, muscle aging (sarcopenia), the genetics of muscle mass, muscle fiber distribution and function, the mechanisms by which exercise influences cancer, and the association between the proteome, metabolome, athletic performance, and health.
