“No evidence suggests that consuming vitamin E-, vitamin C-, or antioxidant-rich foods blunts adaptations to exercise. On the contrary, in this study, astaxanthin-, β-carotene-, and resveratrol-rich foods supported resistance training-induced strength and metabolic adaptations.”

“Optimizing protein intake, particularly for older adults, is essential to maintaining muscle mass and strength. Muscle has metabolic and functional benefits Muscle accounts for 30–40% of lean body mass, providing far-reaching benefits beyond strength.”

“The participants performing exercise (without protein) maintained their aerobic capacity and body fat percentage, but these outcomes worsened in the control group. Resistance Exercise Training Increases Muscle Mass and Strength in Prostate Cancer Patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy.”

“Mixed effects: Improves infection resistance, vaccine effectiveness, and bacterial clearance in some studies; increases infection loads and reduces survival in others. Musculoskeletal effects: Exacerbates age-related bone loss. Increases tendon strength.”

“Many factors contribute to this imbalance, including a sedentary lifestyle and dietary insufficiencies. Building muscle and maintaining function and strength in youth and midlife can forestall the inevitable periods of disuse and disease that occur throughout life and increase with aging.”

“Atrophy causes substantial strength losses, especially during the first week of immobilization or disuse, due to reduced protein synthesis and increased protein degradation. Maintaining muscle mass requires a balance of new protein synthesis and existing protein degradation.”

“Two to three training sessions per week, spaced around aerobic training, are optimal. Selected Publications Effects of Resistance Training on Muscle Size and Strength in Very Elderly Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.”

“The same study showed that short-term induction of Yamanaka factors in older, normal mice mitigated the harmful effects of pancreatic or muscle injury, which could have implications for age-related metabolic dysfunction or strength losses, respectively.”

“Given equivalent access to training and other resources, males will on average outperform females during strength and endurance sports. That's why we have male and female sports. These differences become most apparent during puberty when one's biological sex has a major influence on growth and development due to androgenic hormones such as testosterone.”

“In another study, older adults consuming 3.36 grams of omega-3s daily for two months had an increase in muscle protein synthesis in the presence of amino acids and insulin. Yet another study found that healthy older adults taking 4 grams of omega-3s daily for half a year increased various measures of muscle size and strength.”
