topicTaurine Cognitive Performance Randomized Trial
claimAs life expectancy increases, age-associated declines in muscle strength, metabolic flexibility, immune responsiveness, and cognitive resilience have become major contributors to morbidity and diminished quality of life.

topicTaurine Cognitive Performance Randomized Trial
claimDespite these benefits, the biological response to exercise is often dampened in aging due to reduced mitochondrial efficiency, lower anabolic sensitivity, impaired antioxidant capacity, and chronic inflammatory signaling.

topicTaurine Cognitive Performance Randomized Trial
claimWe then integrate evidence on the ergogenic effects of various dietary interventions with existing knowledge on perception of effort, focusing on how these interventions may limit the development of fatigue during endurance exercise and thereby influence effort perception.
