Effects of Exercise Training on Mitochondrial and Capillary Growth in Human Skeletal Muscle: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression.

Sports medicine (Auckland, N.Z.)·January 1, 2025·PMID 39390310

Why it matters

This large-scale synthesis provides evidence-based guidance for prescribing exercise to improve muscle oxidative capacity and capillarization, key determinants of aerobic fitness and metabolic health. It clarifies that various intensities are effective, but time efficiency and training frequency can be tailored to patient goals and constraints.
