Skeletal Muscle Health

Meaning

Skeletal Muscle Health is a holistic state characterized by optimal mass, strength, contractile quality, and metabolic function of the body’s voluntary muscle tissue. This health is critical not only for physical movement and autonomy but also because muscle tissue is a major site for glucose disposal and a significant endocrine organ. Maintenance of this health is essential for metabolic flexibility and systemic longevity.
