Aging muscles under the microscope: can exercise clean out hidden fat?
NCT ID NCT07506681
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at fat that builds up inside muscles as people age, which may cause inflammation and damage. Researchers will have 16 older adults (ages 65-80) do a 12-week calf exercise program. Before and after, they will measure muscle strength, take CT scans, and analyze small muscle samples to see if exercise reduces the harmful fat and related cell damage.
