Exercise and Metabolics

While exercise is beneficial, excessive high-intensity training can potentially impair mitochondrial function, notes ScienceDirect.com. It's important to listen to your body and adjust training intensity and duration accordingly. 
Exercise, particularly aerobic activities and strength training, can boost mitochondrial function and number, enhancing energy production and overall health. Low-intensity endurance exercises, like walking or cycling, increase the number of mitochondria, while high-intensity intervals can improve their size and function. A combination of both types of exercise is recommended for optimal benefits.
