Will there be a pill that has the same effect as exercise?

Imagine not having to work up a sweat at the gym tonight, but instead taking a pill that has the same effect as exercising.

That sounds too good to be true, right?
It will be a long time before such a pill could possibly reach the market, but researchers have recently taken an important step in developing a sports pill. A thousand changes have been discovered that occur in the skeletal muscles after exercise. The aim is to mimic its main effects by means of a pill.

Good news
If there really is a pill on the market that can mimic the effect of sports, that is of course good news. People who are unable to exercise due to health reasons could benefit greatly from it.

Are you healthy and able to exercise and did you already see yourself taking such a pill? Shame on you. Rather look for ways to keep sports fun.

Would you take a pill that replaces exercise?
