Strength training activates cellular waste disposal, interdisciplinary research reveals

Strength training activates cellular waste disposal mechanisms which are essential for long-term preservation of muscle mass. This is the finding of a University of Bonn research team. Credit: Photo: Volker Lannert / University of Bonn The elimination of damaged cell components is essential for the maintenance of the body’s tissues and organs. An international research team led by the University of Bonn has made significant findings on mechanisms for the clearing of cellular wastes, showing that strength training activates such mechanisms. The findings could form the basis for new therapies for heart failure and nerve diseases, and even afford benefits Read More
