Uncovering the muscle clock–mitochondria axis through exercise

Emerging evidence suggests an interplay between the molecular clock and mitochondrial dynamics in skeletal muscle. In this Forum article, we hypothesize that exercise, as a metabolic challenge, provides a powerful physiological model to investigate the clock–mitochondria axis and its regulatory role in muscle function and metabolic health in humans.
