Beneficial effects of endurance training on human health

An interesting study was conducted which hypothesized that endurance exercise training remodels the activity of gene enhancers in skeletal muscle and that this remodeling contributes to the beneficial effects of exercise on human health.

Regular physical activity decreases the risk of multiple common disorders (such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer) and the risk of mortality. The beneficial effects of exercise training on human health are partially driven by adaptations of the skeletal muscle tissue.

The data from this study provided evidence of a functional link between epigenetic rewiring of enhancers to control their activity after exercise training and the modulation of disease risk in humans. Data was collected from young men before and after 6 weeks of endurance exercise.

What Real Families Say About Nereids

Hayley Woodrow

Our son was far behind his peers and afraid to even put his face in the water. Just 5 lessons later, he’s swimming confidently and going under with joy.

Reem Essam

As an adult with some fear of water — and not a native English speaker — I felt a big difference after just one lesson. By my 7th session, I could swim a full lap. My teacher was kind, patient, and made it fun.

Alan Young

I’m 69 and have always feared the water. My teacher helped me feel safe, listened to me, and gave me the push I needed. Now I’m swimming — and it’s up to me to keep going.

Jo Saccasan

My daughter, who has autism, learned more in her first 45-minute lesson with her Nereids teacher, than in 18 months at a special needs swim school.
