muscle repair
Fixing torn tissue
Muscle repair is the biological process by which damaged muscle tissue heals and regenerates.
After injury or intense exercise, the body activates satellite cells that fuse with existing muscle fibers to rebuild torn tissue.
The protein shake is supposed to aid muscle repair after workouts.
The term appears frequently in fitness and sports medicine contexts.
