We lose muscle strength, mass, & power as we age. This is a major factor in accelerated aging, falls, fractures & frailty. If you want your health span to last your lifespan take care of your muscles.
Did you know our muscles begin to atrophy by the age of 30?
Muscle power is especially important.
Why?
We lose it 8x faster than strength with ageing or simply inactivity.
⬇️ muscle power is related yo:
– 2.4x greater risk of falls & fractures
– 14x greater risk of mobility limitations
“aged muscles tend to maintain a relatively higher capacity for maximal strength compared to power”
How can we maintain or build our muscle power?
With faster, more explosive exercises like sprinting, throwing a medicine ball, or lifting light to medium weights faster.
Not only is it safe, but with the right training & dosage it might save your life.
