Key points

• Researchers at Victoria University's Footscray Park campus are recruiting 96 participants for a study on how physical activity and ageing affect mitochondria in skeletal muscle. Mitochondria convert food into chemical energy for the body.
• Researchers are seeking young men and women aged 18 to 28, and older men and women aged 65 and over. Participants attend four lab visits over about three weeks, with blood samples and muscle biopsies taken.
• Those completing baseline and post-training testing receive $100 e-gift cards each.
