How to combat muscle loss and anabolic resistance with Dr. Richie Kirwan! 🏋️♂️💡 Discover the importance of maintaining muscle mass and strength as we age, and gain practical strategies for improving muscle health through exercise and nutrition. 📊
In part two of this engaging episode of the Physical Activity Researcher Podcast, host Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues the conversation with Dr. Richie Kirwan, a lecturer in nutrition and exercise physiology at Liverpool John Moores University.
Dr. Kirwan delves deeper into the complexities of muscle mass loss and anabolic resistance, highlighting how inactivity, hormonal changes, and other factors contribute to age-related declines in muscle mass and strength.
Dr. Kirwan explains the multifactorial nature of anabolic resistance, discussing how the body’s response to anabolic stimuli such as exercise and protein changes with age. He elaborates on the critical role of maintaining physical activity throughout life to mitigate these effects and preserve muscle function.
The discussion also covers the impact of hormonal changes, particularly in older adults, and the benefits of resistance training and adequate protein intake in combating muscle loss and enhancing strength.
This episode offers valuable insights for researchers, clinicians, and anyone interested in understanding the interplay between muscle health, aging, and chronic disease prevention. Tune in to learn practical strategies for maintaining muscle mass and strength, ensuring better health outcomes as we age.
