Physical exercise induces significant alterations in metabolic homeostasis across multiple organ systems, with emerging evidence suggesting that many of the beneficial effects of exercise are mediated through epigenetic modifications. The intricate relationship between exercise-induced metabolic changes and subsequent epigenetic modifications profoundly influences physiological adaptations and health benefits. During exercise, skeletal muscles dramatically increase energy expenditure, mobilizing various substrates including glycogen, plasma glucose, and triglycerides, which subsequently alters metabolite concentrations in blood and tissues. These exercise-associated metabolites, including TCA cycle intermediates (succinate, fumarate, α-ketoglutarate), lactate, acetyl-CoA, β-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB), S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), kynurenine, and serotonin, serve as substrates or cofactors for epigenetic modifications. These metabolites regulate chromatin structure through DNA methylation and histone modifications, contributing to improved metabolic health, reduced inflammation, enhanced stress resistance, and protection against various pathological conditions. This review highlights the emerging understanding of exercise as a powerful epigenetic modulator through metabolic reprogramming; providing mechanistic insights into exercise-mediated health benefits and potential therapeutic applications for metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurological disorders.
