Description
Summary:Counseling and mentoring treatments, traditionally adopted by health professionals, are now making room for a new protocol where the patients (or clients) are the focus, replacing the attention that was once on the disease. If we take a close look at the scientific knowledge obtained from athletes and muscle loss, for example, that information naturally will be transferred to sarcopenic and cachectic patients, and they will benefit from the athlete's atrophy and hypertrophy investigations that describe several downstream processes in the muscle cell, something useful for understanding the patient's bedrest situation. Another simple example of how elite athletes can contribute to these issues is the metabolic acidosis tolerance by nutritional supplementation, which may help maintain high-intensity exercise for longer periods of time, which results in a powerful stimulation to preserve or boost the muscle mass.
