Full Description
In this episode of the Physical Activity Researcher Podcast, Dr. Olli Tikkanen continues his insightful conversation with Dr. Richie Kirwan, a lecturer in nutrition and exercise physiology at Liverpool John Moores University. Dr. Kirwan delves into the intricate relationship between muscle mass, blood lipids, and cardiovascular health.

Dr. Kirwan explains the significance of ApoB, a protein that plays a crucial role in carrying cholesterol through the bloodstream. He discusses how resistance exercise can influence ApoB levels and improve the overall lipid profile, highlighting early research findings that suggest a positive impact of increased muscle mass on cardiovascular risk factors.

The episode explores how resistance exercise might lower ApoB by affecting molecules like PCSK9, which is involved in LDL cholesterol recycling. Dr. Kirwan emphasizes the need for further research to fully understand these mechanisms and their practical implications for improving heart health.

Dr. Kirwan also addresses the broader impact of muscle mass and strength on cardiometabolic health, suggesting that higher levels of physical activity and muscle mass are associated with better health outcomes. He encourages listeners to maintain an active lifestyle, combining both cardiovascular and resistance exercises for optimal benefits.

Join us to learn more about the crucial role of muscle mass in lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health, and gain practical advice on incorporating strength training into your fitness routine for long-term heart health benefits.
