This theme examines fundamental aspects of physical exercise at the molecular level. Our research uses cellular and animal models to investigate the mechanisms underlying the adaptations produced by training and, conversely, by physical inactivity. We can then transfer our findings from the model to humans (including patients) or vice-versa (translational research).
