Energy balance
Chronic exercise training leads to structural and metabolic adaptations, including mitochondrial biogenesis (via PGC-1a) and muscle hypertrophy (via mTORC), which improve energy efficiency and force generation.
Consistent training changes your body's machinery. Your muscles become better at producing energy (mitochondria) and stronger (hypertrophy). This makes daily activities easier and improves your overall metabolic health over time.

These adaptations appear focused on improving future efforts: providing oxygen and energy more rapidly, using energy more efficiently, and generating greater force.
Why this rating
Extensively documented in the review with specific molecular pathways identified.
