Biography

Mike Plyley is an exercise physiologist, interested in the adaptation of skeletal muscle that arises from disturbances of the cellular environmental, which occur with physical training, disease conditions, and genetic manipulation. He has published numerous papers on the capillary supply of muscle in health and disease, including investigations of capillary development (angiogenesis) and the loss of capillaries with inactivity, aging, and disease. Currently, he is developing a database of the capillary supply of human skeletal muscle in health and disease for use by researchers in the field.
