Regular Exercise May Rewind the Molecular Clock in Aging Muscle
This study suggests sustained physical training may keep aging muscle more youthful.
In older adults, muscle showed lower activity in genes tied to energy production compared to younger people. But in older adults who trained regularly, half of those aging changes were gone. Their muscle looked more like young muscle at the molecular level.
