","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":4782,"description":"Are you confused by all the social media messaging about muscle mass and strength training? Join us for this beefy episode all about muscle! \n\nBiomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram discuss the clinical term sarcopenia– age-related muscle decline–and distinguish it from muscle atrophy due to disuse and sedentary lifestyles. Katy and Jeannette tease apart the different elements of muscle decline; mass, strength and function. They debate how each of these can be measured and their importance. Their discussion centers on a listener's question seeking to understand what we should be doing physically to prevent muscle loss. \n\nAlso in this episode, Katy has a conversation with Tyler Benner of Venn Design, a company creating dynamic seating for homes and offices. Tyler explains how his background in physics and sport have contributed to his creativity in product design. Tyler highlights his solar and sports series of Air Chairs and explains how he has created designs that look exactly like a planet or a basketball! He also introduces his latest venture; Strong Feet Athletics, creator of the first barefoot cycling shoe.  \n\nEnhanced Show Notes & Full Transcript \nChapters: \n00:05:00 - The Dynamic Collective  \n00:08:00 - Muscle, Sarcopenia, Atrophy - Definitions \n00:16:45 - Muscle Mass Overview \n00:27:00 - Glycogen/Glucose, BMI, and more \n00:30:35 - Dynamic Aging \n00:40:50 - Listener Question Recap brought to you by Wildling \n00:48:25 - Interview with Tyler Benner of Venn Design \n\n\nBooks Mentioned:\nDynamic Aging by Katy Bowman\nConnect, Move & Learn:\nJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored Glasses\nTry Katy's Virtual Studio Free for 7 days!\n\nMade Possible by Our Dynamic Collective of Wonderful Sponsors: \nWildling, minimal footwear for toddlers, kids and adults made from natural materials\nCorrect Toes, soft silicone toe spacers that can be worn barefoot or in shoes\nSmart Playrooms, design and products to keep you and your kids engaged and active at home\nVenn...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/U5WxhJlsGPWey1xfDiO0g7h2Z2IvcHpraZq7vVUBMGg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzI4MjA1LzE2NDQz/NDkzMjctYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
