Exercise is good for health — but why? A study in rats offers insight
It’s widely known that exercise is beneficial for health. Yet science doesn’t have a clear understanding of what makes moving so good for us, including what molecular mechanisms are activated by exercise.
To answer those questions, researchers launched a large, 10-year study in 2015 to understand the biological impact of physical activity in both rats and humans. The Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) — a group including scientists from Stanford University, the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and more — published its first paper on Wednesday in Nature.
