Research
Molecular
Endurance-trained athletes had increased expression of gene clusters related to mitochondrial/oxidative capacity.
Endurance training enhances mitochondrial function at the molecular level.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
ET had increased whereas ST had decreased expression of gene clusters related to mitochondrial/oxidative capacity (P <or= 0.05).
Why this rating
Supported by quantitative analysis of gene expression.
