The Science of Building Muscle for a Healthier Life and Ageing Well
Muscles are vital for maintaining mobility and overall health as we age, while sarcopenia (muscle loss) is a significant concern.
Resistance training is the primary approach to counteracting muscle loss, and weight training is a highly effective method to achieve this.
The decline in muscle mass can be accelerated in women during menopause.
Resistance training is essential, but it can be supplemented with Pilates, yoga, or similar activities.
Even small amounts of resistance training can yield significant muscle gains, and improvements are attainable in a short time.
For most people, minimal time commitment, such as two half-hour sessions per week, can lead to notable muscle improvements.
Resistance training is crucial, even when compared to cardiovascular exercise.
Focusing on pressing, pulling, and hip hinge movements is effective, and it can help with osteoporosis prevention.
Lighter weights can be effective if used with high effort and repetition, making resistance training more accessible.
Combining resistance training with regular walking can fulfill your health goals, and 10,000 daily steps is a good target to aim for.
Consistency and adherence are key for long-term health benefits.
