Novel insights: How muscles change during endurance training

Muscles adapt to endurance training thus becoming more efficient and resilient. (Photo: Pixabay) The more we exercise our endurance, the fitter we become - and so do our muscles. They adapt to the load and are able to perform better for a longer period of time. A research team at the University of Basel has now uncovered fresh insights into these muscle adaptations through experiments conducted on mice. Endurance training is beneficial. Regular workouts not only improve physical fitness and well-being, but also trigger profound muscle remodeling. This is reflected in typical training effects: muscles fatigue less quickly, provide more energy, and use oxygen more efficiently.
