#80 - Epigenetics of exercise adaptation and "muscle memory" with Dr Kevin Murach
Feb 14, 2024
Dr Kevin Murach, an expert on muscle growth and adaptation to exercise training, discusses the concept of muscle memory and its relationship with epigenetics. The podcast explores studies on mice models, exploring endurance and strength effects, as well as the mechanisms of muscle memory such as epigenetics and microRNA. The importance of nuclei in muscle fibers for muscle growth and adaptation is also discussed.
