Exercise, the most effective lifestyle intervention for the prevention of non-communicable diseases, is a potent physiological stimulus to improve mitochondrial characteristics. Sprint interval exercise (SIE) is a time-efficient mode of exercise that has gained popularity in the last years and has been previously shown to improve mitochondrial function. Our studies suggest that SIE elicits a mitochondrial stress response, characterised by increased mitochondrial morphological disturbance and transcriptional response. This observed response does not occur following traditional endurance exercise. I will also present some of our current ongoing studies trying to expand our understanding of exercise-regulated transcription factors and the future avenues of this research.
