claimA single bout of exercise has been shown to trigger transient hypomethylation (a reduction in methylation levels) in the promoters of key metabolic genes such aswhich encodes the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α), resulting in increased transcriptional activity [].
