A critical aspect of aging is the general weakening of muscle tissue and bones. A sure
way to reduce the stress on our weakening bones is to increase our muscle mass through
strength training.
Strength training is a safe and effective method of reversing muscle loss in the elderly.
This muscle loss is called sarcopenia. This condition actually begins around forty five
years old. At that time, the average person's muscle mass begins to decline at the rate of
about one percent per year.
Because this natural deterioration of the body. Strength training has become an important
aspect of senior physical exercise routines. Simply stated strength training helps prevent
the breakdown of healthy muscle, tissue and bones. Strength training also strengthens
connective tissues(ligaments) around the muscles and joints.
The stronger a person's body is. The less chance of an injury occurring from an accident.
A stronger body will be more resistant to virus related illnesses.
Recent findings show that positive impacts of a twelve week strength training program. In
a group of volunteers with the joint disease osteoarthritis. Muscle strength increase by 14
percent and balanced improve fifty five percent after the 12 week program.
In another group of volunteers with chronic kidney disease using the same twelve week
program also had some profound results. These volunteers on low protein diets, still
increased their muscle fiber by thirty two percent and muscle strength by thirty percent
after training. This was in contrast to those who did not train. This group about nine
pounds or three percent of their body weight.
When it comes to strength training there are generally two types that are taught. These
are body sculpting and body building. Body sculpting is the best form of trailing for
seniors. This form seems to fill their needs. Body sculpting theory generally speaks to the
ability of women to add about five pounds of muscle mass. Men will ad about ten pounds
of muscle mass.
Weight training should be done in very short sessions. Not only does excess work out time
reduces the body building aspects of the work out. It will also lead to greater muscle
soreness and prevent you from feeling lose the next time you work out.
Work outs should be done in very short sessions for the best results. When weight
training seeks to workout twice per week with two days rest among each session.
