Similar mitochondrial signaling responses to a single bout of continuous or small-sided-games-based exercise in sedentary men

Small-sided games is an effective alternative to traditional continuous exercise modes at stimulating intracellular signaling pathways associated with mitochondrial biogenesis in obese, sedentary, middle-aged men. The similar response between conditions suggests the average exercise intensity, rather than the type of exercise, may be more important for stimulating mitochondrial biogenesis in this population.
