Physical performance and longevity share the same biological levers: cellular signalling (mTOR/AMPK), muscle recovery, nitric oxide, myokines, hormonal axes, energy metabolism. This hub gathers NutriCellScience content at the intersection of sports science, evidence-based biohacking and longevity physiology.
Cellular signalling & metabolism
- mTOR and AMPK: the two great conductors of cellular metabolism — the anabolism / catabolism balance and its consequences for longevity.
- Phosphatidic acid and muscle strength: the forgotten future of anabolism?
Vascular, muscular & nitric oxide
- Nitric oxide (NO): the tiny molecule that drives our vessels, our muscles and much more
- Myokines and an anti-inflammatory diet: a winning synergy for health
- Sports recovery: far more than just rest
Training load & injury risk
- Sports injury risk: what the data really say — incidence per 1000 hours of practice, cross-discipline comparisons.
Supplements & ergogenics
Microbiome bacteria involved in performance
The gut microbiome influences recovery, inflammation and energy availability for the athlete. Three particularly studied species:
- Akkermansia muciniphila: the gut microbiota bacterium that fascinates metabolic research
- Roseburia inulinivorans: the gut bacterium that may shape your muscles
- Cluster IV of the gut microbiota: the great anti-inflammatory bacterial network
