Physical　activity　on　a　regular　basis　has　been　shown　to　bolster　the　overall　wellness　of　an　individual;　research　is　now　revealing　that　these　changes　are　accompanied　by　epigenetic　modifications.　Regular　exercise　has　been　proven　to　make　intervention　plans　more　successful　and　prolong　adherence　to　them.　When　it　comes　to　epigenetic　changes,　there　are　four　primary　components.　This　includes　changes　to　the　DNA,　histones,　expression　of　particular　non-coding　RNAs　and　DNA　methylation.　External　triggers,　such　as　physical　activity,　can　lead　to　modifications　in　the　epigenetic　components,　resulting　in　changes　in　the　transcription　process.　This　report　pays　attention　to　the　current　knowledge　that　pertains　to　the　epigenetic　alterations　that　occur　after　exercise,　the　genes　affected　and　the　resulting　characteristics.
