As you speculate, some lines of research address aging by keeping you young. Your DNA is kept young, and as a side effect your muscles are kept young and the ability to quickly recover from injury is restored, like a 20 year old, instead of a 60 year old. I assume this strategy would also protect you from a number of diseases related to DNA aging. Of course, I also assume it wouldn't be a cure all, and we'd still need to address wear and tear in multiple ways.
