Muscle Preservation Strategies

Meaning

Muscle preservation strategies are a comprehensive set of evidence-based clinical and lifestyle interventions designed to counteract the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia, which is a major determinant of healthspan. These strategies integrate resistance training protocols, targeted protein and amino acid nutrition, and the optimization of key anabolic hormones to maintain positive net protein balance. The clinical objective is to sustain functional independence and metabolic health throughout the aging process.
