High anabolic responders (HI) showed greater citrate synthase activity compared to low anabolic responders (LO) after 12 weeks of resistance exercise training (RET) with a significant main effect (HI>LO, p=0.018).
Practitioners should consider that individuals who respond better to resistance training may have enhanced mitochondrial function.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Main effects of cluster (HI>LO, p=0.018,Cohen's d=0.737) and time (PRE>POST, p=0.037,Cohen's d=-0.589) were observed for citrate synthase activity.
Why this rating
Based on the statistical significance and the study design involving a controlled exercise intervention.
