Effects of physical activity in telomere length: Systematic review and meta-analysis

Highlights • Evidence suggests there is a potential effect of exercise on telomere length. • Actual evidence on the association of exercise and telomere length is very heterogeneous. • Beneficial effects of physical activity on telomere length seem to be related to moderate level of exercise more to...

Summary:Highlights • Evidence suggests there is a potential effect of exercise on telomere length. • Actual evidence on the association of exercise and telomere length is very heterogeneous. • Beneficial effects of physical activity on telomere length seem to be related to moderate level of exercise more to low or intense levels.
