Description: The new team member will assist in a study investigating the effects of resistance training on muscle health and recovery in older adults. This will involve monitoring muscle strength and endurance through standardized tests, collecting blood samples to assess markers of muscle damage and inflammation, and using imaging techniques to evaluate muscle composition. The findings will contribute to understanding how resistance exercise can improve muscle function and prevent age-related muscle loss.
