Summary

Exercise promotes neuron growth through both biochemical and physical effects.

Myokines, released by contracting muscles, stimulate neuron growth, while mechanical forces mimic muscle contractions and also promote neuron growth.

These findings suggest that exercise can be used as a therapeutic approach for nerve repair and mobility restoration.

    Exercise is good for you??? No waaay. Next you’ll tell me not exercising is bad for me. That’s ridiculous!

    Now you’ll have to excuse me while I go reward myself with a gallon of ice cream.
