Research
Metabolic adaptation
Skeletal muscle oxidative enzyme activity was higher in trained athletes compared to type 2 diabetes patients and older controls.
Practitioners should recognize the benefits of training on muscle oxidative capacity.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Citrate synthase activity was increased in TRAINED (p < 0.05), while βHAD activity was higher in TRAINED compared to TYPE 2 (94%) and OLD (76%).
Why this rating
Based on the cross-sectional study design involving multiple groups.
