Discovering Exercise

MoTrPAC: Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium

Be part of a national movement to discover exercise

This study will lay the foundation for a new era of biomedical research on Precision Exercise Medicine
-Dr. Eric Ravussin

This particular research project is intentionally taking all the different specialties and trying to integrate them together. [It] will give us a more clear understanding of the problems and how to solve them.
-Dr. Peggy Whitson, American Astronaut, NASA

We will undoubtedly find individual differences... what works for me... might be very different than what works for someone else. We want to discover that.
-Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the National Institutes of Health

MoTrPAC is a research study and one of the largest efforts to study physical activity involving universities, medical centers, researchers, and most importantly, participants from all over the country.

Study Information

For years, we have known that being physically active is good for our health, but until this point, there has not been a clear understanding of what actually is happening deep within the body, or how the molecular structure of the body changes to improve and preserve health.
Having a better understanding of how the body changes with physical activity will help researchers and clinicians to better prescribe and tailor exercises programming in the future.
This research study is the largest targeted National Institutes of Health (NIH) investment aimed to understand how physical activity improves health and prevents disease.
