There continues to be growing recognition that exercise and inactivity can play important roles in many disease processes. The goal of this training grant proposal is to establish a strong and rich research training environmentfor those M.D.s and Ph.D.s interested in exercise science. The underlyingprogrammatic theme of this trainingprogram is that of "integrative/translational" science. Withinthis context, the prgoram consists of two core groups: the Molecular Physiology Core Group and the Systems Physiology Core Group. The emphasis of these cores is in skeletal muscle, cardiovascular, and respiratory physiology given that these areas of research represent the focus of the Program Faculty, and represent areas of extensive on-going interactions. An integrated/translational approach is especially important in exercise science because of the profound role that physical activity is now known to play in human health. Postdoctoral fellows will interact with the faculty and other trainees through a formal didactic program, seminars, journal clubs, and research-in-progress discussions. At the beginningof the program each fellow will work with the Executive Committee to select a primary and secondary research emphasis designed to reflect an appropriate diversity of topics in exercise science. These emphases will be selected from the two cores. Trainees will become familiar with a variety of animal and cell model systems and state-of-the-art approaches to human performance testing, thereby facilitating the translation from these systems to human research and, ultimately to clinical applications. For this latter objective, Human Performance Laboratory at the U.C. Irvine GCRC/CTSC will play an importantrole as it is funded specifically to support translational research in an environmentthat optimizesthe safety and quality of human investigation. The Program Faculty have a history of collaborative research with each other and are currently involved in training postdoctoral research fellows. This proposed training program is designed to introduce postdoctoral trainees to new disciplines as they continueto hone skills and approaches mastered in the predoctoral years. For postdoctoral MD.s, the program will attract individuals seriously interested in becoming independent investigators. Exercise physiology is not a separate ACGME-recognized specialty or subspecialty; consequently, MDs pursuingpostdoctoral training in this program must be committed to academic careers. For Ph.D.s, the program will be best suited for basic scientists who see their academic careers involving clinical interaction either through direct human research or as members of faculties of medical schools where translational research activity is likelyto be encouraged.

越来越多的人认识到，运动和不运动在许多疾病中起着重要作用。 流程.这项培训补助金提案的目标是为以下人员建立一个强大而丰富的研究培训环境： 那些对运动科学感兴趣的医学博士和博士本培训项目的基本主题是 即“综合/转化”科学。在此背景下，该计划由两个核心小组组成：分子 生理学核心组和系统生理学核心组。这些核心的重点是骨骼肌， 心血管和呼吸生理学，因为这些研究领域代表了该计划教师的重点， 并代表了广泛的正在进行的相互作用的领域。综合/转化方法在以下方面尤其重要： 运动科学，因为现在已知身体活动在人类健康中起着深远的作用。博士后 研究员将通过正式的教学计划，研讨会，期刊俱乐部， 研究进展讨论。在项目启动时，每个研究员将与执行委员会合作， 选择一个主要和次要的研究重点，旨在反映演习主题的适当多样性 科学这些重点将从两个核心中选出。学员将熟悉各种动物 和细胞模型系统和最先进的方法，以人类的表现测试，从而促进 将这些系统转化为人类研究，并最终转化为临床应用。对于后一个目标， 加州大学人类行为实验室。Irvine GCRC/CTSC将发挥重要作用，因为它是专门资助的 支持在优化人类研究的安全性和质量的环境中进行转化研究。的 课程教师有相互合作研究的历史，目前正在参与培训 博士后研究员。这项拟议的培训计划旨在介绍博士后学员新的 学科，因为他们继续磨练技能和方法掌握了博士前几年。对于博士后医学博士， 该方案将吸引真正有兴趣成为独立调查员的个人。运动生理学是 不是一个单独的ACGME认可的专业或亚专业;因此，在这方面追求博士后培训的医学博士 计划必须致力于学术生涯。对于博士，该计划将最适合基础科学家谁 看到他们的学术生涯涉及临床互动，无论是通过直接的人类研究或作为学院的成员 of medical医schools学校where translational翻译research研究activity活动is likely可能to be encouraged鼓励.
