Muscle Mass Augmentation

Meaning

Muscle mass augmentation refers to the clinical and physiological process of intentionally increasing the volume and density of skeletal muscle tissue, typically achieved through a combination of targeted resistance training, optimized nutritional intake, and precise hormonal support. This process is critical not only for athletic performance but also for metabolic health, bone mineral density, and longevity, as muscle mass is a major determinant of basal metabolic rate and insulin sensitivity. Augmentation protocols are often employed in cases of sarcopenia, cachexia, or age-related muscle loss to restore functional reserve.
