| Subject: Exercise can turn back the clock of muscle ageing, study finds Tue Dec 10, 2019 5:07 pm | |
| New research shows how dramatically exercise can slow ageing and reduce inflammation in our muscles.
The study, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, found that the muscles of life-long exercisers in their 70s were comparable in cellular age to those of active 25-year-old participants.
Researchers from Ball State University recruited 21 “life-long” exercisers in their 70s, 10 healthy “non-exercisers” in their 70s and 10 runners and cyclists in their mid-20s.
They measured their thighs for muscle mass, and took blood and muscle biopsies before and after a resistance exercise challenge.
