Article Synopsis
- Stress fractures (SFs) occur when repetitive mechanical stress on bones leads to imbalances in bone tissue, primarily affecting lower limbs and particularly common in long-distance runners.
- Factors such as sudden increases in training intensity and load, along with various intrinsic and extrinsic influences, play a role in the development of SFs.
- Diagnosis can often be tricky due to subtle symptoms and inconclusive imaging tests, which can result in chronic conditions that complicate treatment, so this review examines case studies to discuss effective management and rehabilitation strategies for these injuries in runners.

Background: Obesity is a significant health problem with an increasing incidence, causing a low-grade systemic inflammatory state and being implicated in various chronic diseases. Moreover, obesity has been shown to cause mitochondrial dysfunction through oxidative stress and inflammation, eventually affecting energy metabolism. However, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve mitochondrial efficiency through exercise-induced mitochondrial adaptations.

- Sarcopenic obesity (SO) is a condition characterized by the loss of muscle mass and an increase in body fat, primarily affecting older adults and leading to serious health issues.
- Mitochondrial dysfunction plays a significant role in the development of SO, negatively affecting indicators like VO2max and exercise capacity.
- Research shows that engaging in a systematic exercise program combining both aerobic and strength training can improve mitochondrial function, enhance physical capacity, and manage SO effectively.
