Abstract excerpt
Telomere shortening, a well-known biomarker of aging, is a complex process influenced by several intrinsic and lifestyle factors. Although habitual exercise may promote telomere length maintenance, extreme endurance exercise has been also associated with increased oxidative stress-presumed to be the major cause of telomere shortening. Therefore, the pace of telomere shortening with age may also depend on...
