i hope in 2095 we have more targeted ways to do that.

A lot of progress was slowed by 50 years of mind-warfare.

#5From Wikipedia's description of muscle memory:
> When a movement is repeated over time, a long-term muscle memory is created for that task, eventually allowing it to be performed without conscious effort.
But this article is about enhanced muscle recovery and volume, not about motor learning. I wonder if that's an abuse of the term "muscle memory" or just a different sense. I'm not finding that sense used in a quick search. But the term is also used in the review paper that this article is about, so apparently it has a specialized sense in that discipline.
According to Wikipedia muscle memory as retained skills isn't about muscle fibers, but neurons.

Look up Emsculpt. It's a fascinating/creepy new device that artificially stimulates core muscular contractions, with visibly more exercised and defined muscles after a few sessions with no changes in lifestyle.

Do we know if intense weight training combined with cardio workout during childhood and adolescence works to build a life time of improved musculoskeletal outcomes?
Has anyone done a longitudinal study in this area?

One of the benefits of lifting heavy things repeatedly over time is increased bone density.
Do we know if devices like Emsculpt work to improve bone density? I don't know how the cell-signalling cascade works for putting more calcium-mineral matrix in bones so maybe muscle contraction repetition initiates the cascade, or maybe it's insufficient by itself?
Full range of movement training also works to shift lymph back toward the left subclavian vein where it joins venous circulation.[1]
The lymphatic system is the primary cellular waste product transport system, and an immune organ in it's own right.
From what I read about the place this is a significantly understated feature of exercise and plays a key role in the idea that bed rest is massively counter productive in convalescences and post surgery recovery / outcomes.

TENS units have been around for decades. Every once in a while someone tries to turn it into an exercise machine, but this is mostly marketing, not anything new.
