[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 247840, member: 3"] Simplified by AI: Title: The Impact of Reduced Physical Activity on Muscle Health in Older Adults Abstract: As people age, they experience a decline in strength and muscle function, which is called sarcopenia. This can lead to negative outcomes such as an increased risk of falls, fractures, and reduced mobility. Studies show that after age 60, people lose about 1% of their muscle mass each year and 3% of their strength each year. However, when people have periods of reduced physical activity, like when they're sick or recovering from an illness, the loss of muscle can be even faster. This can happen frequently as people age due to illness, declining mental health, and mobility issues. Even short periods of inactivity, called step reduction, can have negative effects on muscle mass, strength, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation. We believe that accumulated periods of inactivity contribute to sarcopenia. The good news is that even small amounts of activity and protein supplements can help offset the loss of muscle mass with aging, especially during periods of inactivity. The aim of this review is to examine the recent literature on step reduction and explore how nutrition and exercise interventions can help mitigate the negative effects of reduced physical activity on muscle health. In summary, as people get older, they experience a decline in strength and muscle function, which can lead to negative health outcomes. Even short periods of inactivity can make this decline worse. However, exercise and protein supplements can help offset these negative effects and improve muscle health. [/QUOTE]
