As we age, muscle loss (sarcopenia) can threaten our ability to paddle hard and stay competitive. What is sarcopenia?
Sarcopenia is the natural loss of muscle mass, strength and function as you age.
Typically starting in our 30s but ramps up in our 40s or 50s, sarcopenia can lead to a 1–2% annual decline in muscle mass and strength, impacting our performance on the boat and increasing risks like fatigue or injury.
The good news? You can slow sarcopenia’s progression and keep paddling strong with six evidence-based strategies tailored for our sport.
Here’s how to incorporate them into your dragon boating life, with insights from scientific studies to back it up.
