NIH program to catalogue biological molecules impacted by exercise

A new program by the National Institutes of Health will identify and catalogue biological molecules that are affected by physical activity.

Using a fund of $170 million over five years, researchers at institutions across the country will examine how physical activity can help people stay healthy, according to an announcement.

“This program will lay the foundation for our understanding of how physical activity affects the human body, and ultimately, advance our understanding of how activity improves and preserves health,” NIH Director Francis Collins said in the announcement. “Armed with this knowledge, researchers and clinicians may one day be able to define optimal physical activity recommendations for people at various stages of life, as well as develop precisely targeted regimens for individuals with particular health needs.”
