Dr. Cory Baumann will discuss how muscles become less capable of recovering and growing stronger with age. He will highlight how aging alters the body’s ability to respond and adapt to exercise, limiting strength gains. His research aims to better understand these changes within muscle to help people maintain function and stay active longer.
Building on this theme, Dr. Tim Etheridge will explore how new nutritional and drug interventions might mimic some of the muscle benefits of exercise, and be used alongside exercise training to maximize health gains in older people. He will then discuss how research in spaceflight can help develop strategies that promote muscle health in astronauts and older people on Earth.
