The Claim
Histological measures of mitochondrial area demonstrate poor agreement with biochemical assays assessing citrate synthase activity after resistance training interventions in untrained young men, suggesting these measurement methods should be interpreted independently.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When scientists measure changes in muscle cells after strength training using two different methods, the results don't match up well - so they should be looked at separately rather than compared directly.
See the scientific wording
Histological measures of mitochondrial area show poor agreement with biochemical assays (citrate synthase activity) following resistance training in untrained young men, indicating these methods should be interpreted independently.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that when measuring changes in muscle cells after weight training, two different methods gave different results, so they shouldn't be used together—just like the claim said.
