I did not change the subject.
I pointed out that Telomerase only works in very few kinds of human cells.
So it is very unlikely that muscle cells or what ever cells got tested in your studies lengthen their telomeres.
It is much more likely that more stem cells are produced and help in muscle growth so that other cells dont split (and lose telomere) so that bottom line perhaps in an excercised body the average length of the telomeres is longer than in an non excercised one.
In no way does that imply or make any sense in hinting that existing cells with telomeres of length X get longer telomers by excercising (that is what you implied, and AFAIK that is impossible in a human body
Next try?
The blood cell telomere length is a no brainer, as one of the three strands of human cells that can perform telomerase are bone marrow cells, which produce:
And an excericing persons forst body reaction is? Think
Wow, that was easy
So: afaWk excersising has no real effect on telomeres, not in your brain, not in your liver not in your heart or anywhere else. However your sperm quallity is increasing
