Endurance and resistance training: effects on telomeres and telomerase

by A. Manolova | 17 September 2019

By shortening, telomeres protect our chromosomes during cell replication. They are an indicator of our cellular aging. However, by our life choices, it is possible to protect them and even to lengthen them, thus increasing the life of our cells.
