The greater acute increase in type II muscle fibre satellite cell content at 24 hours post-exercise recovery after training was correlated with an increase in type II muscle fibre capillarization.
Improved capillarization may enhance satellite cell function in older adults after exercise training.

The greater acute increase in type II muscle fibre satellite cell content at 24 h post-exercise recovery after training was correlated with an increase in type II muscle fibre capillarization (r = 0.671, P = 0.012).
