Acute exercise (both HIIT and MICT) results in more phosphosite down-regulation than up-regulation, suggesting that acute exercise involves the inhibition of kinase activity and/or activation of phosphatases.

Exercise doesn't just turn things on; it also turns things off. This balance is crucial for adaptation. Don't assume more activation is always better; regulation (inhibition) is part of the process.

More phosphosites were down- versus up-regulated in response to each exercise intensity and timepoint, suggesting acute exercise-regulated inhibition of kinase activity and/or activation of phosphatases.
