Without the support from my mentor @ZachSClayton, the lab team, the Division of Geriatrics, and the NIH/NIA Physiology of Aging T32, none of these accomplishments would be possible. Thank you all! @CUCenterOnAging @CUMedicalSchool @CUCancerCenter

Exercise preconditioning has been shown to protect skeletal muscles against muscle atrophy during periods of muscle disuse (i.e., limb casting). To better understand the mechanisms responsible for exercise preconditioning, check out the following reports:

📢The Integrative Muscle Plasticity Lab @UF_HHP is seeking graduate students (MS/PhD) & staff for Fall 2025 / Spring 2026.

No prior background in muscle needed – just curiosity & drive.

🔁 Please share or tag someone interested.

🚨 Exercise is no longer optional, it is essential!

One of the most impactful studies at #ASCO25

🏃‍♂️ The #CHALLENGE trial (LBA4319) proves that structured exercise after chemo in stage III colon cancer is not just lifestyle—it’s life-saving.

📊 5y DFS: 80.3% vs 73.9%
❤️ 8y OS: 90.3% vs 83.2%
📉 Mortality risk ↓ by 37%
