In this video, we take a deeper look at the amazing field of exercise science and its astounding effects on aging, particularly with respect to our muscles. Path-breaking research has revealed that staying active and maintaining aerobic fitness at all times may significantly affect the biological age of human skeletal muscle on a molecular level.
We then translated this complex science into how various types of exercise slow down—yes, SLOW DOWN but can REVERSE, absolutely REVERSE—the signs of aging within our muscles, in turn allowing us to stay younger and, as such, function more as we age.
Discover:
- The detailed relationship between aerobic fitness (VO2max) and younger muscle profiles.
How exercise training influences the aging process of our muscles.
- The dramatic difference in the effects of physical activity compared to muscle disuse on aging at both the genetic and epigenetic levels.
- Summarizes how our muscles change with aging at levels ranging from DNA methylation to gene expression and how exercise can attenuate those changes.
- Exciting findings from systematic analyses of thousands of samples that shed light on the potential of exercise to counteract muscle aging.
Follow along because we're about to go down the rabbit hole of the science of staying young—one that shows it's never too late to begin rewinding the clock on older muscles.
Remember, your muscles don't have to age with the rest of you. Find out how exercise can keep your muscles vibrant, strong, and youthful. Subscribe for more knowledge on how to live a healthy and prolonged life with modern science's wonders.
Please note:
It is imperative to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise activity. Physical activity may involve risk to people with pre-existing health conditions, who have not previously exercised on a regular basis, or who undertake the activity without appropriate medical advice to the contrary. Get a thumbs-up from a healthcare professional who considers your health history and fitness level when setting up your exercise program.
