Study: Deactivation of Piezo1 protein explains why exercise gets harder the less you do it
A new study reveals that reduced physical activity deactivates the Piezo1 protein, a blood flow detector, which lowers capillary density in muscles. This restricts blood flow, making exercise progressively harder and reducing maximum performance capacity. Lead author Dr. Fiona Bartoli emphasizes that regular exercise protects against diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, yet many people fail to meet minimum activity requirements, creating a downward spiral of fitness.
