Exercise and mitochondrial health
Abstract
Mitochondrial health is an important mediator of cellular function across a range of tissues, and as a result contributes to whole‐body vitality in health and disease. Our understanding of the regulation and function of these organelles is of great interest to scientists and clinicians across many disciplines within our healthcare system. Skeletal muscle is a useful model tissue for the study of mitochondrial adaptations because of its mass and contribution to whole body metabolism. The remarkable plasticity of mitochondria allows them to adjust their volume, structure and capacity under conditions such as exercise, which is useful or improving metabolic health in individuals with various diseases and/or advancing age. Mitochondria exist within muscle as a functional reticulum which is maintained by dynamic processes of biogenesis and fusion, and is balanced by opposing processes of fission and mitophagy. The sophisticated coordination of these events is incompletely understood, but is imperative for organelle function and essential for the maintenance of an interconnected organelle network that is finely tuned to the metabolic needs of the cell. Further elucidation of the mechanisms of mitochondrial turnover in muscle could offer potential therapeutic targets for the advancement of health and longevity among our ageing populations. As well, investigating exercise modalities that are both convenient and capable of inducing robust mitochondrial adaptations are useful in fostering more widespread global adherence. To this point, exercise remains the most potent behavioural therapeutic approach for the improvement of mitochondrial health, not only in muscle, but potentially also in other tissues. image

Exercise reactivates mitophagy, reduces accumulation of ROS, improves mitochondrial health, and delays the loss of muscle mass that accompanies various pathologies, including aging sarcopenia, heart failure, and neurogenic myopathy.
“Moreover, exercise is the best non-pharmacological strategy to reactivate mitophagy, which reduces the accumulation of ROS and thus, improves mitochondrial health and delays the loss of muscle mass that accompanies various pathologies, including aging sarcopenia, heart failure and neurogenic myopathy [224, 238–240].”

Regular physical activity or exercise training enhances mitochondrial homeostasis in individuals with sarcopenia and regulates mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitochondrial redox biology.
“Engaging in regular physical activity or exercise training, which proves beneficial for enhancing mitochondrial homeostasis in individuals with sarcopenia, significantly regulates mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, and mitochondrial redox biology [9,10,11].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
