First seen Apr 13, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study looks at how aerobic and resistance exercise can leave a lasting "imprint" on muscle cells, helping them work better over time. Researchers will take small muscle samples from 179 adults before and after exercise training to study changes in cell metabolism and gene activity. The goal is to understand why exercise improves long-term health, not to test a new treatment or cure.
