How do strong muscles keep us young? Why does muscle strength protect our health in old age? Quarks explains why targeted muscle training can strengthen the immune system, lower blood pressure and even reduce the risk of cancer. It also addresses the question of how muscles and emotions are connected. The new Quarks episode shows simple ways to strengthen muscles – with exercises that can be done anywhere.
Among the experts were Prof. Henning Wackerhage, Dr. Moritz Eggelbusch and MSc Lara Becker from the Technical University of Munich. You can find the entire episode in the ARD-Mediathek.
