In humans, runners were reported to have longer telomeres than non-runners. In mice, exercise was reported to increase telomerase levels compared with non-exercising mice. The empirical analogy between exercise and the model parameter p is qualitative rather than numerically specified. The article presents shortened telomeres as associated with death. Exercise is used as biological motivation because it is associated with telomere maintenance.
