Official title Mitochondrial DNA Signatures of Poor Aerobic Exercise Trainability in Young Adults Born Preterm

What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Young adults born very preterm (32 weeks gestation or earlier) do not respond well to aerobic exercise training, meeting the recommendations set by the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, where they do not increase their fitness level (or cardiorespiratory fitness). Thus, they do not receive the health benefits of exercise.
