Redox reactions control fundamental processes of human biology. Therefore, it is safe to assume that the responses and adaptations to exercise are, at least in part, mediated by redox reactions. In this review, we are trying to show that redox reactions are the basis of exercise physiology by outlining the redox signaling pathways that regulate four characteristic acute exercise-induced responses (muscle contractile function, glucose uptake, blood flow and bioenergetics) and four chronic exercise-induced adaptations (mitochondrial biogenesis, muscle hypertrophy, angiogenesis and redox homeostasis). Based on our analysis, we argue that redox regulation should be acknowledged as central to exercise physiology.

氧化还原反应控制着人类生物学的基本过程。因此，可以安全地假设对运动的反应和适应至少部分地由氧化还原反应介导。在这篇综述中，我们通过概述调节四个特征性急性运动诱发反应（肌肉收缩功能，葡萄糖摄取，血流和生物能）和四个慢性运动的氧化还原信号通路，试图证明氧化还原反应是运动生理学的基础。诱导的适应（线粒体生物发生，肌肉肥大，血管生成和氧化还原稳态）。根据我们的分析，我们认为氧化还原调节应被视为运动生理学的核心。
