Muscle Mass Accretion

Meaning

Muscle Mass Accretion is the fundamental physiological process of increasing the total volume of skeletal muscle tissue through a sustained positive net balance where the rate of muscle protein synthesis significantly exceeds the rate of muscle protein breakdown. This anabolic process is a primary objective for improving physical strength, metabolic health, and overall physical resilience. It represents a crucial component of longevity and functional independence.
