Abstract in brief

Exercise training influences neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) differently in young and aged muscles, with age causing changes at the cellular level and exercise affecting the active zones within NMJs.
Aging leads to muscle atrophy (smaller myofibers), but endurance exercise decreases muscle size in young muscles while promoting slight growth or hypertrophy in aged muscles.
The study suggests that different parts of the neuromuscular system respond uniquely to aging and exercise, allowing muscles to adapt for better function in various conditions.]
