Resistance train to reverse aging

Research on older people has shown that regular resistance training appears to reverse signs of ageing in the muscles. During the Canadian study, 25 people over the age of 65 were given twice-weekly, hour-long training sessions for six months. The results were compared with participants aged 20-35 years. Before the sessions, the older adults were 59% weaker than the younger adults. But after the training the mature crew were only 38% weaker.
Researcher Dr. Simon Melov said “This study gives credence to the value of exercise, not only as a means of improving health, but of reversing the ageing process itself.” The good news is it doesn’t have to be vigorous and only a little exercise is necessary.
