The association between sperm telomere length, cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise training in humans

Telomeres protect genomic integrity and shorten in somatic cells due to the end replication problem. Sperm telomeres are, however, longer in older individuals and linked to semen quality. Exercise training may attenuate age-related telomere shortening in somatic cells, but the influence of exercise...
