Diet-restricted mice perform better in sports
"DZ" wrote in message ... Calorie-restricted mice perform better in tasks that involve reaction, speed and have better endurance. The study corroborates on the earlier finding that the combination of caloric restriction and free exercise acts synergistically to increase muscle endurance and strength. Free full text - http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/...4_209/_article From the study: "In response to assigned tasks, the diet-restricted mice performed better in all activities: they climbed out of obstacles faster, freed themselves sooner from restraint by gummed tape, hung from a bar longer, and better resisted slipping down a slope." Most of the tests favor a lower body weight and/or smaller size, so I don't think you can say calorie restriction can increase muscle strength. Matthew |
