Regulation of oxidative metabolism and blood flow in skeletal muscle. Summary report of the first ACSM Basic Science Specialty Conference, Indianapolis, IN, September 28-30, 1995.

Abstract

The first ACSM Basic Science Specialty Conference was held in Indianapolis, September 28-30, 1995. The topic was integration among cellular metabolism, blood flow regulation, and O2 supply during exercise, principally in skeletal muscle. The structure of the meeting was uniquely designed to emphasize free discussion among the 102 registrants; thus, this unique program design does not lend itself to a conventional collection of written symposium proceedings. On the other hand, the College, editor-in-chief Peter B. Raven, and the meeting organizers felt that a summary of the meeting's major points was important to compile and distribute to members via Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. Therefore, the organizing committee present a summary of the major issues discussed.
