Muscle-centric ageing: Rethinking exercise in later life, (strength as a clinical outcome).

Independence in old age isn’t just the absence of disease, it’s the capacity to cope, adapt and remain functionally autonomous. Muscle strength predicts mobility, risk of falls, hospitalisation and overall mortality more robustly than muscle mass alone.

In this fast-moving discussion I’ll be positioning strength training as a non-pharmacological intervention with quantifiable impact. Resistance and high-effort. Training improve neuromuscular function, balance, metabolic health and functional reserve. Strength training may also be framed as a driver of systemic signalling (myokines, metabolic resilience, neural adaptation), over and above its capacity to function and operate our physiology at a purely mechanical level.

But here’s what that means in the real-world; Muscle isn’t just tissue, it’s a systemic organ that underpins resilience, metabolic health and functional independence. Strength training, therefore, isn’t an optional lifestyle bonus anymore, it’s a biology-based intervention that determines whether we remain agile, lucid and functionally independent as we age.

Elena Seranova, Ph.D., (UAE)

Re-engineering ageing through NAD⁺ and autophagy.

Ageing can be understood as a loss of cellular order-where repair lags behind damage and metabolic signaling becomes noisy. This talk reframes longevity as a control problem, with NAD⁺ metabolism and autophagy as core stabilizing systems. Dr. Elena Seranova examines how modern stressors deplete NAD⁺ and suppress cellular cleanup, then contrasts NAD⁺ IV infusions with oral NMN supplementation through a mechanistic and practical lens. The focus is not stimulation, but regulation – distinguishing transient elevation from durable metabolic leverage.
