From 18 to 80: How Age & Hormones Shape Female Muscle with Dr. Steven O’Bryan

Send us Fan MailIn episode #168 we talked with Dr. Steven O'Bryan aboutAge and sex hormone impacts on female neuromuscular function and performanceHow muscle contractions and force can change over timePostmenopausal hormonal changes and muscle strength and contractilityDr Steven O’Bryan is an internationally recognised neuromuscular physiologist whose research explores how sex-specific ageing, age-related disease, acute exercise, and long-term training adaptations influence the integration between the brain, spinal cord, and skeletal muscle. His work aims to develop innovative, evidence-based strategies to enhance physical function and performance across the lifespan. Dr O’Bryan is an expert in a range of advanced neurophysiological techniques, including electrical and magnetic nerve stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electromyography (EMG), and assessments of skeletal muscle force and power. His research bridges mechanistic physiology with real-world applications in clinical, athletic, and ageing populations.Please note that this podcast is created strictly for educational purposes and should never be used for medical diagnosis or treatment.Follow Dr. O'Bryan: The contribution of age and sex hormones to female neuromuscular function across the adult lifespan: https://physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1113/JP287496Web: researchers.vu.edu.au/3351-steven-o'bryanLinkedIn: au.linkedin.com/in/steven-o-bryan-438916b3x.com/steven_obryanMentioned:Dr. Severine Lamon: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3271-6551Dr. Janet Taylor: scholar.google.com/citations?user=jIc8ErwAAAAJ&hl=enDr. Danielle Hiam: scholar.google.com/citations?user=dEpl2NsAAAAJ&hl=enAnnabel Critchlow: orcid.org/0000-0002-2039-9528Brooke Alvar: instagram.com/brooke_alvar_Female Athlete Conference: femaleathleteconference.com/ American Physiological Society conferenceMORE NRApply to work with Kyla → https://p.bttr.to/3ZrwzcFUse code NEWPOD10 for 10% off our meal plans → https://nutritional-revolution.com/products/CONNECT Instagram → www.instagram.com/nutritionalrevolutionSponsorship inquiries → [email protected] in having your biomarkers or nutrigenomics checked?
