Title: Exercise to maintain and repair the ageing motoneurone-muscle axis

Abstract: Age-related muscle weakness is largely due to the irreversible loss of muscle fibres, which is likely caused by the loss of motoneurones and/or a breakdown the neuromuscular junction. Our findings suggest that exercise can protect against this loss, which highlights the importance of being physically active throughout life.
