What We Cover How similar men and women are in their basic responses to strength and endurance training The evidence on menstrual cycle based programming and why cycle syncing is not supported by muscle protein synthesis data Fasted vs fed training in women when total calories and protein are controlled Ageing, muscle, bone and why strength work and balance matter for fall prevention Protein targets in older adults and why training is the primary driver of gains Creatine, recovery and wheth
