Muscle Mass Increase

Meaning

Muscle Mass Increase signifies a positive net protein balance leading to the accretion of lean body mass, primarily through the enlargement of existing muscle fibers, a process known as hypertrophy. This physiological adaptation is a key objective in managing sarcopenia and optimizing physical performance metrics. Quantifiable increases are typically assessed via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry or MRI.
