topicCoenzyme Q10 Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial
claimRisk of bias was assessed using Revised Cochrane Risk-of-Bias Tool for Randomized Trials (RoB 2) and Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I V2), and methodological quality was appraised with the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT).

topicCoenzyme Q10 Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial
claimModerate-intensity aerobic and resistance exercise consistently improved maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max), maximal workload (W max), muscle strength, and mitochondrial enzyme activity, with no consistent group-level increases observed in creatine kinase (CK) levels or mtDNA mutation burden.

topicCoenzyme Q10 Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial
claimAerobic training enhanced oxidative capacity, phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery, and antioxidant defense, while resistance training improved muscle strength, satellite cell activation, and reduced cytochrome c oxidase (COX)-deficient fibers.

topicCoenzyme Q10 Exercise Recovery Randomized Trial
claimBackground Mitochondrial myopathy (MM) is a group of rare, progressive muscle disorders characterized by impaired oxidative phosphorylation due to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or nuclear DNA (nDNA) mutations, leading to exercise intolerance, muscle weakness, and metabolic dysfunction.

claimThe results demonstrated that oral coenzyme Q10 elevated blood coenzyme Q10 concentration (standardized mean difference: 2.710, 95% confidence interval: 1.57-3.85, p < 0.00001) and reduced blood malondialdehyde concentration (standardized mean difference: -0.289, 95% confidence interval: -0.541 to -0.038, p = 0.024).

claimAdditionally, oral coenzyme Q10 was found to reduce blood creatine kinase values (standardized mean difference: -1.532, 95% confidence interval: -2.856 to -0.209, p = 0.023), suggesting a potential protective effect on skeletal muscle.
