ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how two specific molecules in our body, called microRNA-1 (miRNA-1) and microRNA-133a (miRNA-133a), change in response to a specific type of exercise known as acute neuromuscular exercise (NME). The study focuses on ultimate frisbee athletes to see if their levels of these microRNAs in saliva change before and after they engage in this exercise. By understanding these changes, researchers hope to learn more about how our bodies respond to physical activity.

To participate, individuals must be between the ages of 65 and 91 and should not currently be dealing with any acute illnesses or have had any injuries that would prevent them from exercising in the last 12 weeks. Participants will take part in the exercise session and provide saliva samples for analysis. It’s important to note that regular use of medications or supplements may exclude someone from joining this study. The trial is currently recruiting, and it offers an opportunity to contribute to understanding how exercise affects our bodies at a cellular level.
