年紀和肌肉發展的關係
年紀大等於較小訓練效果⁉️
🤔🤔🤔
頂級運動員退休的原因是他們太老嗎?
頂級運動員年齡平均值為20多歲[10]。而奧林匹克舉重選手的年齡平均值為26歲 。[9]但我們細心想想,頂級運動員退休的原因通常都是傷患、有關藥物使用的風險(drug-related health risks)、較佳的工作機會等等...
當我們更加深入探討有關力量和肌肥大的時候,我們會發現健力運動員都會在35歲(平均值)時達到最佳的狀態[11]。而有關健美運動員的研究不多,但當我們細心觀察那些傑出的健美選手時,會發現他們達到職業巔峰的時期通常都是在30-40多歲。
例子:Ronnie Coleman, Phil Heath, Dorian Yates, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jay Cutler...

研究背景
研究對象為18至39歲的男性和女性,使用磁力共振掃描(MRI)檢測肱二頭肌橫截面面積和測試肘屈肌群的一下最大力量(1RM),然後進行為期12星期的單邊手臂(非主用手)重量訓練。
訓練期結束後,再次使用磁力共振掃描(MRI)檢測肱二頭肌橫截面面積和測試肘屈肌群的一下最大力量。對比訓練前和訓練後的結果,最後得出當中的改變。
圖2A, 對象的肱二頭肌經歷12星期的重量訓練後,都有所增長。而各年齡層的肌肉增長沒有實際分別。在成年初期,年齡不會影響肌肉對重量訓練的反應。
圖2B,
年紀和二頭彎舉一下最大力量(1RM)有着負相聯的關係。
標題: Epidemiology of Sarcopenia [1]
研究背景及設計:
在明尼蘇達州的人群研究 (population-based study in Rochester, Minnesota)
年齡層抽樣方式提取數據 (Age stratified sample of men and women from the community)
😨😨😨
大眾而言,肌少症在大約20歲開始。不論性別,隨着人們年紀的增長,肌肉量都會穩定地下降。
既然肌少症在20歲開始...但是為什麼健力和健美運動員會在30~40多歲時達到運動表現的巔峰?
流失肌肉量·真正的成因⁉️
研究要點✅
1️⃣引致肌少症的主要成因,包括缺乏運動的生活方式和營養不良。[7]
2️⃣年紀令肌肉機能弱化,不使用(遺棄 disuse)肌肉會加劇這個問題 [8]
3️⃣要點:長期不使用肌肉(chronic disuse),是肌肉量流失和力量下降最主要的成因,並非老化(aging) [6]
4️⃣年紀不影響肌肉對力量訓練的反應 [4]
5️⃣年輕和老年的女性有着差不多的肌肥大及力量增長 [5]
6️⃣年輕和老年的個體有著差不多的肌肥大增長 [3]
