Aerobic exercise uses oxygen, which directly relates to how the mitochondria function. The more oxygen you pump to your muscle cells and their mitochondria through aerobic workouts, the faster and better they work to produce energy. There is also an increase in mitochondrial enzymes. These proteins that are necessary for the metabolic reactions in the mitochondria seem to be increased when the body undergoes aerobic exercise. The overall density of mitochondria in muscle tissue increases in response to aerobic workouts. More mitochondria mean greater use of oxygen to produce more ATP and energy.
