University of Bonn researchers found that strength training activates the BAG3 protein, crucial for muscle maintenance and related therapies.

University of Bonn researchers discovered that strength training activates cellular waste disposal mechanisms, including the BAG3 protein, vital for muscle maintenance. This finding could lead to new therapies for heart failure, nerve diseases, and manned space missions, and could optimize training programs for athletes and physical therapy for patients. The BAG3 system, involved in muscle health, removes damaged cell components and preserves muscle tissues over time.
