The training program was 2x per week. For resistance training, they ran a set of machine based training, increasing resistance over time.
"3 sets of 10 repetitions as the main RT program on the following 6 weight-stack machines: leg curl, leg extension, arm curl, rowing, shoulder press, and chest press."
As an old dude, over been wondering what I can do to made my skin tougher.
'enhancing dermal extracellular matrices' what?
It strengthened/increased the amount of nonliving connective tissue in your skin. This tissue provides a "scaffolding" of sorts to your skin cells to live on. It's also the reason your skin is more firm or elastic. Fun fact: men and women's skin have different connective tissue structures due to how hormones interact with your body's formation of collagen. When trans people start taking HRT meds, their skin texture changes!
Think of it like flour in a cake. It's a bulky ingredient that serves as a binding agent that helps to evenly distribute the things you actually want in a cake. Sugar, fat, flavorings, etc. Without flour your cake would just be a big goopy mess
That might be the single best explanation I've ever got for anything, so thank you for that.
