The relationship between HSI, exercise, and muscle FOXO gene on the skeletal muscle and heart. HSI promotes the skeletal muscle and heart aging by inhibiting muscle FOXO-related pathway activity, but FOXO-OE and E can block this physiological process. E can improve the skeletal muscle and heart aging by activating muscle FOXO-related pathway activity, but this physiological process can be blocked by FOXO-RNAi. So, the muscle FOXO gene played a vital role in E against ARD of the skeletal muscle and heart induced by HIS because it determined the activity of muscle FOXO/SOD and FOXO/PGC-1α/SDH pathways in E and HSI flies
