EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY 1 TEST
The American researcher that performed early pioneering studies on progressive
resistance exercise training was

Recent animal studies reveal that endurance exercise training results in a
"browning" of white fat cells. This conversion of white fat cells to brown fat cells
is important to health because increases in brown fat is associated with
