Regular physical activity reliably reduces biological age, but the most prominent effect is observed to those who are originally trained and resistant. Scientists have reached this conclusion after analyzing dozens of research on people and animals. The scientific review was published in Aging magazine.
The results show that physical activity slows the so-called "epigenetic clock", molecular mechanisms that determine the real biological age of the body. There are especially noticeable changes in the blood and skeletal muscles, where active people are "rejuvenation" of mobile structures.
Scientists emphasize that the effects of training in different people and animals may be different, it depends on the initial level of physical training, individual characteristics and the work of certain organs. Thus, the aging has slowed down not only in muscles, but also in the liver and fat tissue.
The authors emphasize that sports cannot be considered a universal measure against old age, but the accumulated data allow it to extend the most effective and effective way to extend active durability. In the future, scientists need to identify the molecular mechanisms of this influence and develop personalized exercises.
