This week, on episode #239 of The Drive, Peter sits down with Andy Galpin, Ph.D., Professor of Kinesiology at California State University at Fullerton. In this episode, Andy explains the anatomy, microanatomy, and physiology of the muscle, what it actually means to undergo hypertrophy of the muscle, and more, including:
- Contrasting strength, power, and force production and how they inform us about training for longevity
- Muscle energetics: Fuels that provide energy to muscles, and the importance of protein
- Muscle fibers: modulation between fiber types with movement and changes in fibers with training and aging
- Microanatomy of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers
- Factors that determine one’s makeup of muscle fibers, and how adaptable they are with training
- Changes in muscle and muscular function that occur with aging
- Training plan for the hypothetical client
