The article explores the concept of 'muscle memory' through the journey of Adam Sharples, a former rugby player whose injury led him to study muscle cell biology. After suffering an ACL tear, he took a year off, allowing him to deepen his understanding of how muscles adapt and grow. With a keen interest in cellular mechanisms, Sharples aims to discover ways to enhance recovery and muscle growth, connecting his athletic experience with scientific research to help others regain strength after inactivity.
"Muscles adapt in response to the environment: They grow when we put in the work and shrink when we stop. But what if we could help them remember how to grow?"
