yes. Moderate cardio exercise elongates telomeres. Epi-genome is more complicate to quantify.

Interesting. What would you say are some reasonable examples of “moderate” cardio?
I assume this implies that cardio above a certain intensity threshold doesn’t do the trick.
I think it was 30-60 min somewhere below the anaerobic threshold. Running or cycling while being able to somewhat comfortably talk would be an example.
I think intense cardio was less effective in this regard. But it is also difficult to find participants who are willing to be randomized by a coin flip to either train intensively every day or don‘t train at all for an extended period of time.
