Molecular exercise physiology is the study of the underlying molecular regulatory
mechanisms that underpin physiological adaptation to exercise. The molecular mechanisms
studied include; inherited DNA traits and mutations (genetics), extracellular and intracellular
signaling, gene expression, and protein translation in the major tissues and organs that are
required for exercise, particularly skeletal muscle. Within the molecular exercise physiology
field, epigenetics is an emerging and exciting area that is beginning to enhance our …
