Regular Exercise Speeds up Recovery Time after Injury
Having a regular exercise program will help you get back on your feet after an injury occurs.

    In the unfortunate event that you get injured, you want to be able to get back on your feet and back to your normal routine as soon as possible. Developing a regular workout routine before danger strikes give you the biggest hand up in recovery time.

     This study gives you one more reason to start exercising regularly. The scientists used 3 groups of mice of different age groups and activity levels and injected them with snake venom for muscle deterioration. They observed the effects before, 10 days after, and 28 days after injection. The results showed the mice with a regular exercise routine prior to the muscle damage recovered quicker than those without. Giving us just one more reason to keep active as we age and become more prone to injury.
