Summary
This study looked at how prostate and colorectal cancer affect mitochondria—the energy factories in cells—and whether a 4-week home exercise program could improve them. Fifteen men awaiting surgery did either resistance or high-intensity interval training at home. Researchers measured changes in mitochondrial activity and muscle function before and after the program.
