Porin protein content relative to young pre training (AU)	1.00 ± 0.4	0.98 ± 1.1	1.60 ± 1.3	1.19 ± 1.2	1.53 ± 1.3	2.40 ± 1.9
CS activity, µmol/min/mg w.w.	1.7 ± 1.0	2.2 ± 1.3	2.0 ± 0.6	1.0 ± 0.6	1.7 ± 1.9	1.4 ± 0.9

Porin protein content and maximal muscle citrate synthase (CS) activity measured pre-training, following six weeks of resistance exercise training (post training), and after eight weeks of subsequent deconditioning (post decondition). Porin protein content is expressed relative to young pre training. Data are shown as means ± SD. n = 9 in both groups.
