And so, sometimes, for endurance training, people will train below the lactate threshold, just below it, and that seems to result in significant mitochondrial biogenesis.

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
And so, sometimes, for endurance training, people will train below the lactate threshold, just below it, and that seems to result in significant mitochondrial biogenesis.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
But, we know, from our studies that we've done with animals and people, that endurance training does increase the mitochondrial mass and does increase the number of transporters.
