New explanation for muscle memory found in muscle proteins

Researchers investigated the quantities of thousands of muscle proteins and found a possible new explanation for muscle memory. A study showed for the first time that muscles 'remember' training at the protein level. The memory trace of previous resistance training persists in muscle proteins for over two months.

Muscle proteins retain memory of resistance training for more than two months, study finds

Researchers investigated the quantities of thousands of muscle proteins and found a possible new explanation for muscle memory. A study by the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, showed for the first time that muscles "remember" training at the protein level. The memory trace of previous resistance training persists in muscle proteins for more than two months.

Study Reveals Muscle Memory at the Protein Level

Researchers have delved into the quantities of thousands of muscle proteins, uncovering a potential new explanation for the phenomenon of muscle memory.

Over 40 and Feeling Sore? You're Not Alone

If your post-workout soreness feels worse than it used to—even when you’re training smart—you’re not imagining things. After 40 women, especially those in perimenopause or postmenopause, often experience increased delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after exercise and training. And it’s not just new lifters who are affected. Even seasoned athletes find themselves hobbling down the stairs or wincing as they lower onto the toilet after a tough se…

Exercise changes muscle proteins at the cellular level, and these changes last for over two months.
