Clinical Domain Certificate
Muscle Health and Healthy Ageing
Sarcopenia, anabolic decline and physiological ageing
Age-related anabolic decline, sarcopenia, muscle preservation and the physiology of healthy ageing.
About this programme
An evidence-based certificate examining the biology of skeletal muscle across the lifespan, the determinants of anabolic decline, and how the current literature frames muscle preservation in ageing populations.
Learning objectives
- Explain the biology of muscle protein synthesis and breakdown.
- Assess sarcopenia using current diagnostic frameworks.
- Critically evaluate evidence for interventions targeting muscle health.
- Integrate exercise, nutrition and pharmacological evidence.
- Discuss the limits of current evidence with patients.
