Because muscle is a major public health issue, the AFM-Téléthon and the Institute of Myology, an international center of expertise on muscle and its diseases, are leading a major Myology Foundation project.
17 muscles are needed to smile, 42 to frown. The diaphragm is the muscle that contracts the most. More than 2 billion times during our lifetime. We have around 600 muscles which represent 40% of our body weight. It is essential for movement, but it also has a role as regulator and secretor.
Hence the importance of preserving your muscle mass by practicing regular physical activity.
;By its preponderant place in the human body and its transversal role, muscle is at the heart of a discipline, myology, which must be taught and recognized.
To respond to this major public health issue, the AFM-Téléthon and the Institute of Myology are carrying out, in the heart of Paris, a major Myology Foundation project whose objective is to study, diagnose, evaluate and treat muscle, whether healthy, sick or aging. or trained.
