- Scientific Insights: The webinar discussed research findings on how muscle mass and strength impact various bodily functions, such as metabolism, cognition, and blood pressure1.
- Sarcopenia Awareness: Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle mass and function, was highlighted as a critical issue, often misdiagnosed and poorly treated2.
- Practical Recommendations: The webinar provided practical advice on how to best look after muscular health through targeted exercise programs and proper nutrition1.
The goal was to equip participants with knowledge and strategies to improve their muscular health and overall well-being.
