Decrements in skeletal muscle mass and metabolic function are common to human ageing but we do not yet know the underlying causes at play. We know that exercise training, gender, inactivity and nutrition also impact on these physiological processes and may influence the progression of chronic diseases associated with ageing (e.g. type 2 diabetes). This symposium will highlight research efforts aimed at increasing scientific understanding of the impact of ageing, exercise training, gender, inactivity and nutrition on skeletal muscle mass and metabolic function in humans.
