The Claim
A 12-month moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise program performed at 60 minutes per day, six days per week, has no significant effect on prostaglandin E2 or prostaglandin F2α concentrations in colon mucosal biopsies among adults with a history of adenomatous polyps.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In adults with a history of adenomatous polyps, a daily 60-minute, six-day-per-week aerobic exercise program for 12 months does not change levels of prostaglandin E2 or prostaglandin F2α in colon tissue samples.
See the scientific wording
A 12-month moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise program, performed at 60 minutes per day, six days per week, does not significantly alter prostaglandin E2 or prostaglandin F2α concentrations in colon mucosal biopsies among adults with a history of adenomatous polyps, indicating that this specific biological pathway is not a primary mechanism through which exercise influences colonic tissue in this population.
Long-term aerobic exercise does not change the levels of two specific chemicals, prostaglandin E2 and F2α, in the lining of the colon, so these chemicals are not involved in how exercise affects colon tissue in people with a history of polyps.
What the research says
1 studyPeople who exercised an hour a day, six days a week for a year didn’t change the levels of two specific chemicals in their colon lining — and neither did people who didn’t exercise. So, this kind of exercise probably doesn’t work by changing those particular chemicals.
