    Aerobic, resistance, and combined exercise were tested for their effects on skeletal muscle performance in high-fat diet-induced obese mice.

  • 2

    All exercise groups showed improvements in endurance and grip strength compared to the high-fat diet group.

  • 3

    The combined exercise group exhibited the most significant enhancements in muscle fiber morphology and mitochondrial biogenesis.

  • 4

    Gut microbiota analysis revealed reduced α-diversity in the high-fat diet group, with the combined exercise group restoring diversity.

  • 5

    Metabolomic analysis identified 278 differential metabolites, with unique regulatory patterns linked to each exercise modality.
