Full course description

Description

This training delves into the relationship between exercise and cardiometabolic health, with insights from Dr. Robert Gerszten’s research. It covers molecular pathways activated by exercise, the heterogeneity of exercise responses, and large-scale initiatives like the MotorPAC study, which investigates the molecular transducers of physical activity.

Target Audience

Medical researchers, cardiologists, exercise physiologists, and healthcare professionals interested in the intersection of molecular biology, exercise, and cardiometabolic health.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this training, you will be able to:

  1. Understand the molecular pathways influenced by exercise, such as those involving PGC1-alpha.
  2. Recognize the significance of heterogeneity in exercise response among individuals.
  3. Identify the design and goals of large-scale studies like MotorPAC in exploring the molecular effects of exercise.
  4. Apply knowledge of molecular profiling to develop personalized exercise interventions for cardiometabolic health.
