Abstract

Exercise enhances health by supporting homeostasis, bolstering defenses, and aiding disease recovery. It activates autophagy, a conserved cellular process essential for maintaining balance, while dysregulated autophagy contributes to disease progression. Despite extensive research on exercise and autophagy independently, their interplay remains insufficiently understood.
