Effects of physical exercise on the prevention of stem cells senescence

Regular physical activity is essential for maintaining wellbeing; physical inactivity, on the contrary, is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of the most important risk factors for global mortality. During physical exercise different growth factors, cytokines and hormones are released, which affect positively the functions of heart, bone, brain and skeletal muscle. It has been reported that physical activity is able to stimulate tissue remodeling. Therefore, in this scenario, it is important to deepen the topic of physical activity-induced effects on stem cells.
