How endurance exercise and strength training might protect certain organs against disease —

We all know regular exercise is good for us, but scientists in this NIH-funded study by MoTrPAC are delving into how it can actually change gene activity within certain organs. Published in the May 2, 2024 edition of Nature, researchers identified thousands of genes tied to human disease that were affected by endurance exercise.

This preliminary research (based on male and female rat studies, as well as human study samples) may lead to more personalized exercise recommendations.  As well, scientists predict such findings may result in the development of customized drug therapies for individuals who cannot exercise. Human trials are expected in the next few years.
