Impacts of Parents’ Exercise on Inherited Genes

Abstract

Physical exercise is considered an essential prospect in cognition. Exercise has a lot of benefits. It increases your body HDL (good cholesterol), controls your weight, prevents heart attacks and diabetes, regulates blood pressure, strengthens your muscles, and improves mood. However, we have minimal information regarding the effects of parents’ exercise on the genes they pass down. This research paper reviews three different previous studies done on this topic. The first study is about the research done on the mice to analyze the transmission of the exercise effects of the mice fathers to offspring. The second study is the comprehensive analysis of the epigenetic changes at the molecular level in both mammalian and rodent cells. The third study is exclusively about the research on humans. Later, I presented the research design that I set up to find the answers to my questions, the potential outcomes, and further analysis of the results.
