Physical Capacity Preservation

Meaning

Physical Capacity Preservation is a primary objective in longevity medicine focused on proactively maintaining the maximum level of strength, endurance, flexibility, and motor control throughout the aging process. This strategy aims to prevent the progressive loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) and bone density (osteopenia) that typically compromises independence and quality of life in later years. Preservation protocols are intrinsically linked to sustaining optimal anabolic hormonal signaling, adequate protein synthesis, and neuromuscular integrity. Successful preservation ensures a robust healthspan and minimizes the risk of age-related functional decline.
