Description
Roger Fielding reviews how exercise defends health span, the years lived in working order, against the muscle decay of aging. With age, muscle shrinks and weakens across species, driven by faltering contractile proteins, metabolic drift, and dimmer nerve activation. Gene activity, epigenetic marks, and mitochondria all shift underneath.
The hopeful half of the lecture: much of that machinery still answers to movement. Regular activity, started even late in life, blunts or reverses losses in mass and function. The payoff reaches past muscle to diabetes, heart disease, cognition, frailty, and disability. Fielding connects molecular levers to functional gains to argue activity is a broad-spectrum intervention.
