Harvard recently released the results of studies that researched the effects of strength training on older adults. These results not only solidified the understanding that strength training builds and maintains muscle mass and strength, but it also builds bone mass! A combination of age-related changes, in-activity, and poor nutrition causes bone-loss at the rate of 1% per year after the age of 40! That's over 20% bone-loss by the age of 60!
As we grow older, our neuromuscular systems just aren't what they used to be. We fall and stumble more, causing fractures that would not have happened in our younger years! Out of those who fall, only 40% fully regain their independence after a hip fracture. In fact, over Eight Million Women & Two Million Men suffer from osteoporosis in the United States alone! So, what can we do to help ourselves?
