1/🧵 New research from Ohio University suggests aging muscles may stay strong if we keep our nervous system healthy. It's not just about the muscles, but how the brain and nerves communicate with them. #threadstorm #inleo #cent

2/🧵 Participants in their 70s showed improved muscle strength after electrical stimulation, indicating potential in our nerves. This could lead to innovative treatments focusing on neurological health rather than muscle alone.
3/🧵 Staying active is vital, but balance exercises that challenge both muscles and nerves could be key. This shift from muscle to nerve focus could redefine how we approach aging and strength training for older adults.
