Pennington Biomedical is hoping to begin recruitment in February or March for a groundbreaking study into why some people benefit from exercise more than others.
Director of Biomedical Imaging Dr. Owen Carmichael said many who exercise just don’t see results. The study hopes to figure out the genetics behind that.
“We measure how people respond to exercise and then compare their improvements to some of the genetic factors that they started off with,” said Carmichael.
The study is a national effort that will take place at five sites across the country, Baton Rouge being one of them.
