in the book "Biomarkers" two Dr's decide to discover which ten biomarkers slow down or reverse the aging process the most
Number one on the list was muscle mass
Number two was strength
these two components are THE most important factors, they realized to growing old well. and staying as young as possible as long as possible.
Sarcopenia, the natural ( IF one doesn't weight train)age related loss of muscle mass will deteriorate you fast if you don't do something to stop if.
This whole " I've fallen and I can't get up" is real, common and completely unnecessary if one strength trains
AND as we lose that muscle as we age , fast twitch fibers are lost at THREE TIMES the rate of slow twitch fibers> Nothing trains power and fast twitch better than the simple kettlebell swing And safe too
Good enough for me
