Spektrum der Wissenschaft - Articel

An article in Spektrum der Wissenschaften explores nutritional strategies for muscle growth, authored by Janosch Degg with contributions from Prof. Dr. Anja Carlsohn (HAW Hamburg), Prof. Dr. Henning Wackerhage (TUM), and Tim Havers (TUM). The publication presents evidence-based recommendations for protein intake, highlighting that both animal and plant-based proteins can support muscle development when combined appropriately. It also addresses the role of supplements such as protein shakes and creatine, emphasizing that these should complement rather than replace a balanced diet.

For this article, which addresses a core focus of HyperMet research—metabolic changes during muscle growth—both Tim Havers (HyperMet researcher) and Prof. Dr. Henning Wackerhage (HyperMet speaker) were interviewed.

HyperMet research examines the impact of muscle growth (hypertrophy) and muscle loss (atrophy) on metabolism. Increased muscle mass reduces the risk of obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, and potentially cancer. We are exploring the underlying metabolic processes to develop new strategies for prevention and everyday life.
