The interactive effect of sustained sleep restriction and resistance exercise on skeletal muscle transcriptomics in young females

Both sleep loss and exercise regulate gene expression in skeletal muscle, yet little is known about how the interaction of these stressors affects the transcriptome. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nine nights of sleep restriction, with repeated resistance exercise (REx), on the skeletal muscle transcriptome of young, trained females. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data in skeletal muscle of female who undertook nine nights of sleep restriction, with repeated resistance exercise.
