Muscle memory discovery ends 'use it or lose it' dogma
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190125084106.htm
Exercise physiologists agree: muscle memory is real. But how are these 'memories' stored? A review has a simple answer: nuclei gained during training persist even when muscle cells shrink due to disuse or start to break down. This means we can 'bank' nuclei in our youth to prevent frailty in old age -- and makes steroid use in competitive sport a perfect but irredeemable crime.

Studies like these are part of why I am so adamant about my boys having a healthy active childhood. The ability of the body to maintain the memory of fitness through life means that if they are able to set those baseline levels of strength, endurance, and nuclei when young then they will have a much better chance of maintaining or will be able to re-achieve the same or better levels when older. I am well aware of this in my own life. I ran for most of my childhood up until my early 20s when I stopped. 5 years ago at age 35 I started running again and found that I was able to return to a speed and endurance level as good as when I quit.
