You’re never too old to benefit from strength training (Roizon article)
A study in JAMA Network Open explains a good way to accomplish the goal of maintaining your health as you age — build your muscle strength.
The researchers looked at info on 115,489 participants, ages 65 to 74 and did a follow-up around 7.9 years later. The goal was to determine how much muscle-strengthening activity is needed when you’re age 65-plus to extend your health and longevity.
The researchers found that doing muscle-strengthening on its own for two to three or four to six times weekly (not more!) reduced the risk of death from all causes by 83% and 79% respectively. That’s compared to doing it one or fewer times a week.
Doing moderate to vigorous aerobics on its own for 150-300 minutes or more than 300 minutes weekly reduced the risk of death over the same time period by 75% and 68% respectively. That’s compared to getting less than 10 minutes a week.
When two to three strength-training sessions were combined with more than 10 minutes of aerobics weekly, the risk of death was reduced by 91%.
Clearly, as you age, muscle strengthening is vital. It helps maintain a healthy metabolism, prevents falls and protects bones. So, don’t limit your workouts to aerobics.
