Sometimes simple things are game changers. By correcting for mortality that is not ageing related (e.g., accidents), the heritablity estimate for longevity increases to aoround 55%. #Longevity

It is really amazing how easy it is to become a longevity expert!
Yesterday we had our bi-annual "state of TUM exercise biology" review and adjusted our mission statement.
Great news! Today we heard that the DFG will fund the expensive aging biomarker analyses of the TauAge longevity trial with Tony Wyss Coray and Chiara Herzog clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT066...
In our mh.tum.de/en/mh/academ... we have a module on evidence-based training for performance, fitness, and health. Today we visited the Olympic training centre Bavaria to learn about elite sports support. Thanks to its head Volker Herrmann for introducing us and taking questions!
Looking forward to discussing the vLamax/vLapeak with Andy Jones and Katha Dunst at the @ecssofficial.bsky.social meeting in Lausanne!

Great to see so many HyperMet members and exercise physiologists with metabolomics data at the DGMet meeting in Hannover. This is a growing field and it is important for us to learn to not only generate data mountains but new ideas that are useful for practice!
Cholsoon Jang is coming as a visiting Professor to Munich for some experimental masterclasses and will give the 19th HyperMet talk next Thursday in person. Join us (details below)!
