Exercise+Genetics+Laboratory

Department of Health Kinesiology 2010 “Exercise Genetics Laboratory” This article talks about “the overall objective of the laboratory are to identify biological mediators of adaptations to exercise training and to elucidate the mechanistic basis for chronic diseases associated with low levels of fitness.” This lab studies genetics and fitness and exercise. They said that “the novel genes associated with high or low exercise training responses that are identifies in this project could eventually be used to develop therapeutic agents for the treatment of diseases associated with low levels of fitness such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.” I learned that if you don’t exercise or rarely exercise then you could end up with diabetes, heart disease, cancer, ect. Therefore, I think that people should exercise more and live a healthier life style. This is the link: [] Mackenzie 3/8/11
