Sarcopenia is not age-related. It is disuse related (plus all the usual suspects that accelerate development).

Building muscle is not complicated but it does take hard work & patience
Here are the biggest things you NEED to know
In order to increase muscle mass you need to progressively overload your muscles
This sounds simple but executing that can be more difficult
First reaction of @MapleLeafs parting ways with #Dubas was not impressed. He's only had 5 years at the helm not enough to build.
#Yzerman had 9 seasons to build what ended up being a Stanley Cup champion team 2x's (2020 & 2021) @TBLightning right after he left.

I just watched Justin Holl the entire game when he was on the ice. Two trends:
Majority of the time getting out battled and always out of position.
It's ok, go ahead and give him 17-20 mins of ice time and play on the PK, he's zero liability 😂
It's painful to watch!
Courtesy of Hockey Night In Canada, this shows how out of position Justin Holl was on Duclair's breakaway. Being where he is on a penalty kill is inexcusable. #Leafs

Congrats to the USA on the win!
That was a wild game, lots of back and forth. Heart breaking loss for Canada, it fell apart in the last 6-8 mins of the game w/ the penalties.
As always, CAN vs USA was a thriller! Hopefully the development keeps growing for the other countries!
IT'S OFFICIAL! TEAM USA ARE CHAMPIONS!🏆

For those making a resolution to lose weight this year, remember that preserving muscle mass during weight loss is crucial to maintaining results. Resistance training is the best strategy to ensure retention (or even an increase) of muscle 💪 journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/A…

The greatest to ever do it.

After decades of evidence and lots of studies, why do we still click on the ad the promises the ‘answer’ for [insert condition: weight loss, muscle gain, longevity…] THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS! NO MAGIC… sigh 😔 That’s it, PSA over!
Small observation watching my partner's niece play Atom B hockey on Sat.
Both head coaches and all assistant coaches were all men (a total of 6).
Both referees were men as well.
IMO more female mentors are need in those roles for development of these young girls! @OWHAhockey

NEW review by our group @UBC_MABLab led by @MichaelaCMKhan in @SportsMedicineJ
Running is safe for joints. Don't be scared of 'wearing out your knees' - that's not a thing. Share far and wide. Time to make sure no one is scared of running!

1. University of Findlay
2. Wayne State University
3. Niagara University
And sadly now 🤦♀️:
4. Bobby Mo @RMU
