Mitochondria are essential organelles for cellular energy supply and play a key role in determining our physical performance. They produce ATP, the universal energy currency of cells, and thus directly influence maximum oxygen uptake (VO₂max), a key parameter for aerobic fitness and endurance. The density and efficiency of mitochondria in the muscles are crucial for energy supply during intense exercise - especially in the type I fibers of the muscles, which are responsible for long-lasting endurance performance. However, mitochondria are not only important for physical performance: their role in cell health makes them an important factor in the prevention of degenerative diseases and some types of cancer, as mitochondrial dysfunction is often associated with cell damage and oxidative stress. Today we're talking about how you can optimize your mitochondria. Which negative factors you should reduce in your life as much as possible and which positive factors have a proven influence on your cell power plants. ????
