This study compares mitochondrial mRNA and protein responses to high-load and high-volume resistance training in trained men, finding no differences between the two training paradigms.

This study examines how resistance training before endurance training affects mitochondrial adaptations, finding that prior resistance training impairs mitochondrial responses to subsequent endurance training.

This study compares DNA methylation and mRNA responses to lower- versus higher-load resistance exercise in trained men, finding similar gene expression and methylation patterns despite differences in exercise intensity.

Resistance training reduces methylation at 63% of mtDNA CpG sites in older males, mimicking a youthful methylome signature and enhancing mitochondrial function.
