Why cyclists, runners, and other athletes in otherwise impeccable health are sometimes at risk is poorly understood, and could involve both genetic factors and exercise-related remodeling of the heart and its electrical rhythms.

"Studying the intersection of aging- and exercise-related molecular processes could unveil new therapeutic targets," the authors write.

The investigators note their findings help to translate a longstanding recognition of sex-specific physiology seen in the exercise lab to a now-expanded view of sex differences in exercise-related clinical outcomes.

The development of PT maladaptation markers required analysis of plasma proteome in patients having cardiac surgery and in marathon runners who may have suffered exercise-related AKI.

The research, detailed in the paper "Exercise-Related Physical Activity Relates to Brain Volumes in 10,125 Individuals," was published this week in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and shows being physically active is related to increased size of brain areas important for memory and learning.
