From Geriatric Physiotherapy: Why Strength Training Has No Age Limit
Why do older adults often need more protein per meal to build muscle than younger adults?
- Aging muscle responds less to the same dose
- Older muscles store protein as fat instead
- Older stomachs digest protein too quickly
Show the answer
Answer: Aging muscle responds less to the same dose
Called anabolic resistance, aging muscle needs a larger protein dose, ideally with exercise, to switch on the same muscle-building response.
