Abstract

Senescent cells are defined as normal cells that have undergone irreversible division arrest due to various factors. These cells have been found to play a pivotal role in aging and the development of chronic diseases. Numerous studies demonstrated that physical exercise is effective in anti-aging and anti-chronic diseases. Furthermore, the combination of exercise and hypoxia has been shown to optimize the stimulus of oxygen deprivation and extend cellular lifespan.

Research summary

The paper discusses the role of hypoxic exercise in potentially retarding cellular senescence, which is directly related to the mechanisms of aging and lifespan extension. However, as a narrative review, it likely synthesizes existing knowledge rather than presenting new experimental findings, limiting its impact to a solid but not groundbreaking contribution to the field.
