First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two groups of healthy adults over 55: those who have exercised regularly for 30 years and those who have not. Researchers will test blood and physical function to see how lifelong activity affects T cell metabolism and overall vitality. The goal is to understand the link between exercise and healthy aging.
