The mechanisms behind aging are insanely complicated and no one can answer in this format. A simplistic answer would be that exercise creates mitochondrial adaptations that allow healthy cells to stay alive while unhealthy cells are destroyed.

“Bodybuilding “ prevents aging by allowing people to continue doing activities that promote longevity such as staying mobile, being able to fall without breaking bones, helping prevent insulin resistance and diabetes, being able to participate in social activities, etc. injury prevention is the big one.
