Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on mitochondrial-related indicators (mitochondrial DNA copy number) and exercise tolerance indicators (anaerobic threshold, AT) in healthy adults.
Additionally, as a secondary objective, we will examine the relationship between changes in mitochondrial-related indicators and changes in exercise capacity indicators, and explore the potential of mitochondrial-related indicators as new measures for evaluating exercise load.
Furthermore, we will examine the relationship with maximum oxygen uptake and the sweat lactate threshold to evaluate the effectiveness of exercise intervention from the perspective of mitochondrial function.
