AGE | Novel Model Links Stress and Recovery Cycles to Healthy Aging
During his whiteboard talk for The Physics in Aging Biology Workshop, he demonstrated how cycles of exercise (stress) and rest teach the body to adapt, making it stronger and more resilient. Exercise works by briefly stressing the body, causing small amounts of muscle damage. The body then repairs itself, becoming stronger and healthier; this same process can boost overall longevity and well-being.
