To lower your risk of anabolic resistance, prioritize consistent physical activity.
Our read is that anabolic resistance, particularly in older individuals, can be mitigated through regular physical activity. While age is a factor, even short periods of inactivity can induce significant anabolic resistance, underscoring the importance of continuous engagement.
Muscle in older individuals retains its responsiveness to stimuli, suggesting that age-related anabolic resistance is not an immutable condition but rather one that can be normalized through consistent physical activity.
Engage in regular physical activity.
Our sources did not raise any specific risks or disagreements regarding this approach.
New evidence detailing specific types, intensities, or durations of physical activity, or new information on other interventions for anabolic resistance, would change the verdict.
Mechanistic and trial evidence converge on a real, replicable effect.

The effect size is large enough to matter clinically, not just statistically.

Most of the support comes from short or small studies.
