Musculature, strength, size, and endurance are maintained only so long as they are demanded. The moment that demand disappears, the physiological mechanisms that once built muscle now work towards energy conservation, initiating a gradual, though measurable, decline

Muscle aging has several underlying factors, including decreased numbers of muscle stem cells, mitochondrial dysfunction, a decline in protein quality and turnover, and hormonal deregulation. Loss of muscle mass is associated with—and possibly preceded by—muscle weakness, which can make carrying out daily activities difficult for seniors. This can lead to further inactivity, which itself leads Th…
