They let these 14 people exercise at different motor levels with a bike in the gym, and analyze a small number of participants' muscle tissue to track chemical changes.

They found that although the genetic composition did not change, the DNA inside the muscles of the participants changed in structure and chemistry when exercising.

Professor Juleen Zierath, the lead researcher, said: "Our muscles are really made of plastic. We often say" you are what you eat. "Yes, muscles adapt to those. what you do ".

Mr. Zierath added that research demonstrating exercise provides great benefits for everyone. He stated: 'Exercise is a tonic, and it seems that we just need to jog can alter the genome to bring about better health for us.'
