Mitochondria

Explore our lecture series on “Mitochondria” with Professor David Bishop. Across six parts, this series examines the latest evidence on mitochondrial biology and how exercise prescription variables such as volume, intensity, frequency, and recovery influence mitochondrial content, function, and quality. It also explores the role of nutrition in supporting mitochondrial biogenesis, with practical implications for both endurance performance and metabolic health.

What we will cover:
Why are they central to endurance performance and metabolic health?
How does training volume influence mitochondrial dynamics?
How do training intensity and frequency modulate mitochondria?
How does recovery shape mitochondrial adaptation to training?
What role does nutrition play in supporting mitochondrial biogenesis?

Professor David Bishop is a world leader in muscle exercise physiology with more 250 publications. The focus of his research group is to examine how diet, exercise, and genes interact to regulate skeletal muscle adaptations, and to translate this new knowledge into recommendations for more individualised exercise prescriptions to better improve health and human performance. David has also been invited to the Senate Inquiry into the practice of Sports Science and was a consultant to the Coalition of Major Professional and Participation Sports. He is currently a director of the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS).
