Learning Objectives:

1.Understand how cytokines and myokines play a major role in dysregulated skeletal muscle remodeling in RA
2.Appreciate how exercise may positively impact disease activity, disability, sarcopenic obesity, and risk for CVD in RA
3.Understand how exercise training may improve coordination of skeletal muscle cytokines and myostatin regulation in RA
4.Understand how galectin-3 may be a novel risk factor for CVD in RA that may be modulated by exercise training
