weight lifting to live longer and better

weight lifting to live longer and better Two new studies show that weight lifting of moderate amounts twice a week helps most live longer and healthier lives. I do that twice a week and feel better that way. The first study analysis of the link between strength, muscle mass, and mortality, from a team at Indiana University using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The design was pretty straightforward: They assessed 4,440 adults ages 50 or up who had their strength and muscle mass assessed between 1999 and 2002. The researchers checked back in 20 to see who had died. To measure muscle mass, they used a DEXA scanner to determine that 23 percent of the subjects met one definition of “low muscle mass,” with total muscle in the arms and legs adding up to less than 43.5 pounds in men or 33 pounds in women. For muscle strength, they used a device that measures maximum force of the knee extensors (the muscles that allow you to straighten your leg) and found that 19 percent of the subjects had low muscle strength. The results, published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, found that those with low muscle strength and low muscle mass were 2.66 times as likely to have died during the follow-up period than those with normal muscle strength and mass. The other study took aim at the perception that strength<b> training </font></b>is an afterthought in public health guidelines. Most of us remember that we’re supposed to get at least 0 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise per week. Reams of data support the beneficial health effects of hitting this goal. But the guidelines also suggest doing “strength-promoting exercise” at least twice a week—a clause that’s often forgotten and the benefits of which are usually framed in terms of avoiding frailty and improving quality of life, rather than extending life. Researchers in Australia analyzed data from 80,000 adults in England and Scotland who completed surveys about their physical activity patterns starting in the 1990s. The headline result was those who reported doing any strength<b> training </font></b>were 23 percent less likely to die during the study period and 31 percent less likely to die of cancer. |

I spend about twenty minutes each time, twice a week. A small price for health.
