Effect of Acute Exercise on Exosome Associated Biomarkers

Effect of Acute Exercise on Exosome Associated Biomarkers

This research study is being done to understand the underlying mechanism by which exercise affects the body on the cellular level, in an acute aerobic endurance setting. This may help to better understand the overall benefits of endurance exercise.
