Abstract

Identifying potential exercise mimetics that deliver the benefits of exercise Robert Wessells, Associate Professor at Wayne State University, discusses his research on identifying potential exercise mediators or mimetics to deliver the benefits of exercise to less mobile individuals and help reduce the global disease burden. Exercise is an indispensable part of our daily life to maintain a healthy body and brain across ages. Regular exercise has been shown to reduce the incidence of many age-related diseases and preserve healthy function during normal aging, improving quality of life and independence. However, regular exercise remains inaccessible to portions of the population due to injury, illness, advanced age, or job-enforced sedentary periods. Therefore, identifying potential exercise mediators or mimetics that can deliver the benefits of exercise to sedentary people would be potentially transformative in reducing disease burden worldwide.
