Metabolic adaptation
After 31 days of endurance training, muscle oxidative potential increased by 41%.
Extended endurance training significantly enhances muscle oxidative capacity.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Muscle oxidative potential, estimated from the maximal activity of succinate dehydrogenase, was increased only after 31 days of training (+41%; P < 0.01).
Why this rating
The claim is supported by specific measurements and statistical significance.
