First seen Apr 15, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study looks at whether fat that builds up inside muscles as people age causes damage and inflammation. Researchers will have 16 older adults (ages 65-80) do a 12-week calf exercise program. They will measure muscle strength, take CT scans, and analyze small muscle samples to see if exercise reduces harmful changes.
