Myonuclei are lost with #Ageing & Atrophy #SkeletalMuscle
#MyoSky

Satellite cells contribute to uninjured myofibers in adult 🐭

4% myonuclei turnover per 8 wk

How "old" myonuclei are removed from a multinucleate syncytium?

Even in “pure” endurance sport like cycling, there are momentary intramuscular occlusions during every pedal stroke above a certain power

Pushing on the pedals squeezes blood out of muscle like a sponge. Relaxing the muscle allows blood to flow back in 8/

Vitamins/anti-oxidants help our body recover. But this paper found that supplementing may reduce the positive effects of our training.

This was new to me.

Vitamin-rich foods are healthy, but vitamin C/E pills may not always be constructive?

Endurance performance depends on multiple factors, not only VO2max. As conceptualised with this updated model (links in Alt)

In trained athletes, improving one component can can come at a cost to others. Performance can improve despite a fall in VO2max, or vice-versa, or any other permutation 6/
