Muscle Loss

Muscle Loss tackles the critical issue of sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss, a condition affecting most adults after 30, who can lose 3-8% of muscle mass each decade. This decline dramatically impacts overall health, reducing mobility, increasing the risk of falls, and even weakening the immune system. The book explores the biological factors behind this process, such as hormonal changes and reduced protein synthesis, while emphasizing the pivotal role of strength training in combating and even reversing these effects, promoting healthy aging and sustained physical function.

The book progresses from foundational concepts of muscle physiology to dissecting the lifestyle and biological factors contributing to muscle loss. It then focuses on practical strength training principles, detailing various modalities, exercise selection, and tailored program designs suitable for older adults.

Drawing from exercise physiology, gerontology, and nutrition, Muscle Loss analyzes data from clinical trials and studies, translating research into actionable recommendations and strategies for overcoming barriers to exercise, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to maintain their strength and vitality.
