The Claim
Twelve weeks of exercise training at 80–85% of maximum heart rate, performed five days per week, reverses hyperactivation of the mitochondrial fission protein DRP1 at serine 616 in skeletal muscle of obese adults with type 2 diabetes, resulting in elongated mitochondrial structure and reduced mitochondrial sphericity.
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 obese adults with type 2 diabetes exercise hard for 12 weeks, five days a week, their muscle cells start to fix broken mitochondria—making them longer and less round, which might help the cells work better.

What the research says
1 studyThis study showed that when obese adults with type 2 diabetes exercised hard for 12 weeks, five days a week, their muscle cells’ energy factories became longer and less round because a problematic protein (DRP1) calmed down — exactly what the claim says.
