Can we optimise the exercise training prescription to maximise improvements in mitochondria function and content?
Author: Bishop, D.
Victoria University
Abstract:
While there is agreement that exercise is a powerful stimulus to increase both mitochondrial function and content, we do not know the optimal training stimulus to maximise improvements in mitochondrial biogenesis. This presentation will focus predominantly on the effects of exercise on mitochondrial function and content, as there is a greater volume of published research on these adaptations and stronger conclusions can be made. The results of cross-sectional studies, as well as training studies involving rats and humans, suggest that training intensity may be an important determinant of improvements in mitochondrial function (as determined by mitochondrial respiration), but not mitochondrial content (as assessed by citrate synthase activity). In contrast, it appears that training volume, rather than training intensity, may be an important determinant of exercise-induced improvements in mitochondrial content.
The importance of mitochondria for both athletic performance and health underlines the relevance of this topic for ECSS delegates.
This topic will therefore be of interest to both delegates interested in athletic performance, as well as those interested in population
health.

Thanks for the science essay
Great info. Thank you for publishing this video. The fun comes in applying this info to a training plan. From a practical standpoint, the higher the intensity, the lower the total time you're able to train. You can very easily do too much sprint interval training (SIT) and wind up getting injured and/or cause other problems. Finding the right balance of the various workouts/types of training is a great challenge. Having a better idea of what's going on at the mitochondrial level helps inform our choices. Thanks again.
Thanks so much !
how do we taper when we lose everything in 2 weeks?
Wonderful content. You can activate subtitles for the video. I wanted to share it with my students, but they don't have a good hearing for English.
I haven't found any information in mentioned articles especially related to "grand tour" 3 weeks intensive training 😔
I was most interested in your comments about effective prescriptions for combining training types as mentioned at 16:15 since obviously this has significant real-world application for training. Is this something that there are any studies published on since this presentation was given? I couldn't see anything more recent on your ResearchGate page
Brilliant research! Conclusion at 25.45
It seems if one wants to improve the biochemical parameters purely for the sake of it, one should continuously increase the exercise load, be it SIT ofr HIIT. There are only 24 hours a day and most people will also need to engage in certain other types of non exercise activities in order to earn a living.
what a dull format doctors bore each other with
Very helpful
Excelent lecture!! and excelent presentator!!!! Congratulations!!!
Can anyone direct me to the appendix model on interval training by granata, jamwick and bishop?
full of precious information…. I am lucky to find this in the Internet for free
So how can you exercise with C.F.S/M.E when your Mitochondria havealready been damaged?
The lecture focuses on improving the mitochondria's ability to produce ATP (Energy).
1. Exercise is a powerful stimulus to increase mitochondrial biogenesis; However, when we stop working out the mitochondria will quickly return to its previous state.
2. There is a positive correlation between training volume and mitochondrial function.
3. There is no observable correlations between training intensity and mitochondrial function.
4. Continuous training maybe associated with a larger increase in mitochondrial fusion when compared to High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Sprint Interval Training (SIT). However, the results are still inconclusive.
5. SIT has been associated with causing an increase in the number of mitochondria functioning within the cell.
6. Achieving a workout around 85%-90% appears to be the sweet spots according to the current data, however, additional information is still needed.
7. Training twice a day appears to be significantly more effective in stimulating the function and volume of mitochondria; however, additional information is needed.
8. Adaptation seems to occur through the training. Techniques such as "progressive overload" can help prevent that.
Training summary:
1. Training volume with the most "observed" improvements in mitochondrial functioning: 2x/day for 7d/week.
2. Morning training involved continuous glycogen depleting exercises (e.g. running) and HIIT/SIT in the afternoon.
3. Use methods such as "progressive overload" to prevent adaptation.
No HIT (high intesity strength training) comparison – seems to be an enormous omission. I like to se the same analysis applied with HIT alongside these three. This presentation implies you have to become an exercise junkie.
Awe! that little boy did such an awesome job introducing his dad! How precious ❤
On the slide with training AU how long do people have to exercise for an average that would have been more valuable to see.
The findings here are largely in line with the arguments of Pavel in his book, Quick and Dead. Would be interested in comparing different modes of sprint training or high intensity interval training. For endurance side, I often run for steady-state cardio at the end of fasting (18-20 h). It seems this approach kind of makes sense in terms of maximizing the effect on mitochondrian adaptation.
Smart little guy at the beginning. Good reader! Marvellous to see.
If you’re doing 8-12 mile step racing jogging the first sometime second and third does one need to sprint too. 79 yr old female 5’7” 123 lbs this AM?
Cycling. 15 miles every day.
THAMK YOU.PLEASE MORE EDUCATION ABOUT EXERCISES TO SLOW OR REVERSE SARCOPENIA IN THE HEALTHY AGING .THANK YOU.
So many ads inserted and really annoying
So mitochondrial density is a function of how many are required for the amount of physical activity over time. This is due to the energy taken up in the production of mitochondria and their usage, versus the rest of repair and function in the body. In other words, the rules of diminishing returns apply. This is my instantaneous hypothesis.
Love it 🔥
Enjoyed the presentation 🙌
That's just in skeletal muscle or also in the heart? I doubt it's related to kidney, liver, brian, etc.. spoke too soon.
What's wrong with slow but steady increase?
Fascinating studies – good news for people that workout daily 👏👏
Is there a link to the video about the nutritional aspect of this study?
In my opinion the greatest benefit to fitness and health from High Intensity Interval Training is mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal and cardiac muscle. ATP to ADP with low intensity exercise and ADP to AMP with intense training. AMP triggers the signaling pathway for mitochondrial biogenesis. I wrote a book with Greg LeMond "The Science of Fitness" which explains exercise, fitness, and health as a fundamental mitochondrial process. The book includes avoiding mitochondrial toxins (there are many), the best ways to train to trigger mitochondrial biogenesis, the best supportive diet, the mitochondrial theory of aging, and mitochondrial supplements. LeMond had one of the highest VO2 Maxes ever recorded (super mitochondrial physiology and from HIIT), but later developed a mitochondrial myopathy from lead poisoning (shotgun injury). So he is the best case study in mitochondrial fitness experiencing both extremes.
As a busy person I have tried different physical training methods and have settled with doing HIIT, namely hill repeat bicycling every other day, for the best results in the least amount of time. I am losing body fat, gaining muscle mass and tone, improving speed and endurance, sleeping better and longer, no injuries and less joint pain, and have better mental focus and concentration. I have mild muscle soreness and a continuous pleasant feeling from endorphin release. If you don't you likely aren't training intensely enough. I figure that every other day is plenty and allows ample recovery at my age of 59 with no degradation in fitness from too infrequent exercise while also preventing exercise obsession and over training. It is very time efficient and avoids free radical damage from too much mileage (quality of training is more important than the quantity). Maybe not enough training volume for a young competitive world class athlete but likely optimal for overall health (i.e. lean muscle mass, cardiovascular fitness, prevention of metabolic syndrome/type 2 diabetes, mitochondrial mass, joint health, and slowing the aging process).
Hw doesnt say what kind of exercise his subjects did. I'm assuming it was stationary bicycling because he has a little picture of a biker in the corner of his plots.
Any cycling static or moving is fine. At age 78, cycling half hour a day around my home and swimming half-hour twice a week, keeps me walking as steadily. Keep walking to 100 🤣
Very interesting studies.
So,, should you ride HIGH zone 2, to try to bump up your zone, or low Zone 2, to really burn fat?
