Interesting.
It's interesting to me.
Do I read that as a study that shows the inevitability of time and, oh, my God, there's nothing you can do?
No.
Mm-hmm.
I love that you bring that up.
And so in 2011, at the University of Pittsburgh, where I spent my academic career in orthopedics, I was fortunate to be surrounded by an entire menu of great scientists.
And so we put together a working group called PRIMA, the Performance and Research Initiative for Masters Athletes, which means I only studied people over 40, right?
If you weren't 40, you weren't cool enough and you weren't old enough.
So
One of the studies we did tried to answer the question, if we invest every day in our mobility, can we retain our muscle mass?
And so now, again, the people I studied were not professional athletes.
They were runners, triathletes.
They were just people who invested every day.
So we used MRI.
We did MRIs of the thighs of people from 40.
I can't remember the oldest.
I'd have to look it up.
87 or something.
And we did what are called axial slices, which in layman's terms looks like you cut a ham, right?
