USE IT OR LOSE IT<\/h2>\n\n

A new study highlights why it\u2019s so hard to return from training abstinence\u2026 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Ever had a lay-off and struggled to dig deep on your return? <\/strong>According to recent research from the University of Leeds, it could be down to a switched-off protein.<\/p>\n\n

Lead author Fiona Bartoli and her team\u2019s research on mice discovered that deactivating the Piezo1 protein \u2013a bloodflow sensor \u2013 reduced the density of capillaries carrying blood to the muscles. By restricting the blood, exercise became more difficult, leading to a reduction in exercise output. This conscious deactivating of the Piezo1 protein, the researchers explained, is what happens to those who become increasingly sedentary.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\u201cOur work sheds new light on how Piezo1\u2019s role in blood vessels is connected to physical activity,\u201d said supervising author, professor David Beech. \u201cOur discovery provides an opportunity to think about how loss of muscle function could be treated in new ways: if we activate Piezo1, it might help to maintain exercise capability in humans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s also another reason why triathlon\u2019s so damn good for your physical and mental health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
