Why the study?
While exercise benefits on skeletal muscle and the cardiovascular system are well established, recent studies highlight the role of exercise-induced improvements to adipose tissue affecting metabolic and whole-body health.
This review highlights the role of exercise in inducing beneficial adaptations in white and brown adipose tissue, which may contribute to improved metabolic and whole-body health.

Exercise-induced adipose adaptations may benefit metabolic health; leaves open causal mechanisms and clinical translation.
Exercise induces various beneficial whole-body adaptations and can delay the onset of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. While many of the beneficial effects of exercise on skeletal muscle and the cardiovascular system have been well established, recent studies have highlighted the role of exercise-induced improvements to adipose tissue that affect metabolic and whole-body health. Studies investigating exercise-induced adaptations of white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) demonstrate modifications to glucose uptake, mitochondrial activity, and endocrine profile, and a beiging of WAT in rodents. This review discusses recent studies of the exercise-induced adaptations to WAT and BAT and their implications.
