The health benefits of exercise are numerous, with adaptive responses occurring in many organs and protecting against metabolic diseases and aging. The aim of this symposium is to bring together a diverse set of exercise physiologists, systems biologists, circadian biologists, nutrition experts, and other strategic leaders at the intersection of energy management in health and disease. Together, our goal is to accelerate the rate of advance in our mechanistic understanding of exercise metabolism in tissues and systems throughout the body, explore the therapeutic benefits of exercise, and integrate these findings with other emerging themes across the metabolic arena.

Topics:

• Molecular mechanisms of exercise metabolism
• Integrated omics and the adaptive response to exercise
• Inter-organ communication and signal integration in health and disease
• Exercise effects on age-related diseases and longevity
• Advances from clinical trials of nutrition and exercise
