Definition

The cellular process that increases mitochondrial content and capacity in response to stimuli such as endurance training. The value and interpretation depend on the measurement method, protocol, sport and individual athlete.

Practical use

Interpret the metric with the test protocol, exercise mode and the athlete’s individual response; avoid treating thresholds as universal fixed numbers.
