Musculoskeletal Strength

Meaning

The quantifiable force that can be exerted by the body’s muscle-skeletal unit, reflecting the integrated health and function of skeletal muscle tissue, bone density, and connective tissues. This clinical metric is crucial for assessing physical performance, metabolic health, and the risk of age-related frailty and injury. Optimal musculoskeletal strength is a direct outcome of balanced anabolic and catabolic hormonal signaling and consistent mechanical loading.
