Resistance Exercise and Nutrition for Efficient Muscle Hypertrophy
Abstract
Skeletal muscle plays a crucial role not just in exerting force but also in regulating the metabolism of glucose, fats, and amino acids. Similarly, sarcopenia poses a dual threat by increasing the likelihood of bone fractures from falls and elevating the risk of insulin resistance and heart diseases, significantly hindering functional independence in the elderly.
