AgreementModerate agreement

Most discussions acknowledge the importance of protein intake, exercises, and interventions to combat anabolic resistance, aligning with the article's focus.

InterestHigh interest

Posts show high interest, especially with individuals sharing personal strategies and linking to the publication, indicating engagement with the topic.

EngagementModerate engagement

Comments include references to scientific papers, personal routines, and discussions about aging and muscle health, demonstrating moderate to deep engagement.

ImpactModerate impact

The collective emphasis on practical interventions suggests the discussions could influence personal health choices and broader awareness about aging muscles.

Abstract in brief

  • Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle wasting, involves a decline in muscle strength and function, mainly due to muscle's resistance to anabolic stimuli like amino acids and resistance exercises, rather than changes in baseline muscle protein synthesis and breakdown.
  • To combat this, elderly individuals may need higher protein intake distributed evenly throughout the day, ensuring sufficient leucine intake to stimulate muscle protein synthesis effectively, and can benefit from lower-intensity, high-volume resistance exercises combined with amino acid consumption to maximize muscle growth.
  • These interventions aim to overcome "anabolic resistance" in aging muscles, helping maintain muscle mass and strength, thereby preserving functional ability and quality of life in older adults.]

@Alex76992183 @steveluder @jerryteixeira @practicalbob Yes low carb, not no carb works for me but protein is important this paper sets out the importance of protein for older guys. @nickengerer gave me the link. It’s a long read by worth the time. https://t.co/xkVqqojHAg

@mikkidavies007 Hi Mikki, @nickengerer referred me to this paper perhaps it’s a good starting point depending on your age. https://t.co/RFMQku65Hw

@jerryteixeira As an older guy I do take a whey protein supplement on resistance exercise days. Attached paper suggest older ppl require protein spread out over the day. I have protein in my two-main meals and the whey protein supp in between as. 3rd meal. https://t.co/xkVqqojHAg

Older #muscles need special care. Ride a #bike or walk, but also get your #weights out & eat enough #protein. Challenge your muscle & provide the right #substrate. #mps #anabolicresistance #masterathletes #sports #health #aging https://t.co/2EV9zdPORY https://t.co/oNl1KXa9dl
