Maximizing muscle growth for healthy aging
Maximizing muscle growth becomes increasingly important with age for two main reasons: maintaining strength for daily activities and promoting metabolic health. Adequate muscle mass is crucial for easy movement and avoiding physical limitations. Additionally, muscles act as a glucose disposal sink, contributing to metabolic health as more muscle mass aids in metabolic efficiency. Despite the historical focus on cardiovascular exercise for older adults, there is a growing recognition of the importance of maintaining and increasing muscle mass for overall health and wellness as people age.
