Strength Training for Seniors


Ageing is automatic, decaying is optional

Are you feeling the years? Are you often resigned to the ssofa and slippers, convinced you’ve gone past the point where regular exercise and physical activity make any difference? THINK AGAIN!

38


Why should over-40s consider resistance training? Our experts give you 12 good reasons:

Guess what? We’re a sedentary society. It’s clear an inactive lifestyle will lead to an increase in individuals body weight. According to stats, up to 80% of men and women in their 50s and older have too little muscle and too much fat. This is the slippery slope that can lead to obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, low back pain and numerous types of cancer. Resistance is NOT futile Fortunately muscle loss is reversible. Studies reveal that, for all ages, resistance exercise significantly increase muscle mass and the rate of muscle loss nearly doubles after the fifth decade. So if you’re over 50, regular resistance exercise is vital.

39


01

Rebuilding muscle

Dozens of studies prove that even a relatively brief programme of resistance exercise (20 to 40 minutes per session, two or three days a week) can rebuild muscle tissue in people between 50 and 90. Most of these programmes have led to a gain of three to four pounds of muscle after just a few months of strength training.

02

Recharging metabolism

Resistance training has a dual impact on metabolic rate, increasing energy use during exercise and the following 3-day muscle recovery and rebuilding period.

03

Reducing fat

Most people get fat as they age, even if their eating patterns stay the same. Fortunately the same strength-training studies that showed a 3 to 4lb increase in muscle also demonstrated a 3 to 4lb decrease in fat weight.

04

Reducing resting blood pressure Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. With so many adults suffering high blood pressure, it’s encouraging that numerous studies have shown big reductions in resting blood pressure readings after two more months of standard or circuit style strength training. 40


05

Improving blood lipid profiles

Many adults have undesirable blood lipid levels, increasing the risks of heart disease. But regular strength training can result in favourable increases of 8 to 21% in HDL (good) cholesterol, favourable decreases of 13 to 23% in LDL (bad) cholesterol and favourable reductions of 11 to 18% in triglycerides.

06

07

Enhancing postcoronary

For older adults who have had problems with cardiovascular health, resistance exercise has proven to be a productive means to attain and maintain desirable body weight; increasing muscle mass and strength, improving physical performance, speeding recovery from the cardiovascular event.

Resisting diabetes

People with desirable body weights and moderate to high levels of muscular fitness has a very low risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown significant improvements in insulin sensitivity and glycemic control after several weeks’ strength training.

08

Increasing bone density Although muscle loss is closely associated with bone loss, strength training increases both muscle and bone mass – a good thing. Substantial increases in bone mineral density have been seen after several months of regular resistance exercise. 41


09

Decreasing physical discomfort

While a large percentage of people with lower-back pain can reduce discomfort by strengthening their lower-back muscles, resistance exercise has also proven helpful for people with arthritis and fibromyalgia.

10 11

Enhancing mental health

There have been several studies on the psychological changes associated with regular resistance exercise, with serious improvements among adults and older adults in depression, physical self-concept, fatigue, revitalization, tranquility, tension, positive engagement and overall mood disturbance.

Revitalizing muscle cells

Circuit-style strength training characterised by short rests between successive exercises can increase mitochondrial content and capacity. With results so positive, researchers have concluded that resistance exercise can reverse specific ageing factors in muscle tissue.

12

Reversing physical frailty Even people well past the age of 50 can benefit from sensible strength training. Reasonable resistance exercise can enable elderly adults to allowing them to walk or even cycle much more.
