Muscle cells remember past workouts, study finds
Original: Your cells keep a record of every workout you’ve ever done – and those gains persist even after a break from exercise
New research explains that exercise leaves lasting marks on muscle cells, creating a kind of 'muscle memory' at the cellular level. Gains in strength and fitness persist even after a break from training, meaning former athletes can rebuild faster than beginners. The findings are being discussed for what they suggest about staying active across a lifetime.
Why now: Fresh coverage of research showing exercise benefits persist in cells even after time off appeals to anyone training or returning to fitness.
