Table 1 Predicted correlations between31P-MRS measures of skeletal muscle biology and whole-body physiology
x | y | Direction | Hypothesis | Refs | Hypothesis supported? |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
PCr1/2t | VO2max | — | Mitochondrial function will positively correlate with both absolute and mass-corrected VO2max | Yes (p < .0001) | |
Qmax, ATPmax | VO2max | + | |||
Resting [PCr] | Delta efficiency | — | Resting muscle [PCr] will negatively correlate with delta efficiency | Yes (p = .046) | |
PCr1/2t | Resting VO2, TDEE | — | Mitochondrial function will positively correlate with both resting VO2 and total daily energy expenditure | TDEE: Yes (p = .032) | |
Qmax, ATPmax | Resting VO2, TDEE | + | VO2: No |
