Aging is inevitable and is characterized by progressive accumulation of damage from the 3rd-4th decade and onwards in humans. Physical inactivity accelerates the cellular aging process in a ‘vicious cycle’ and predisposes for a wide spectrum of chronic diseases, including cancers. Aerobic exercise training (AET) mitigates inflammaging, reduces all-cause mortality risk, and extends health- and lifespan.
