A new study out of Denmark shows that strength training at an older age can provide years of benefit.
Researchers said they measured seniors' bone and muscle strength and levels of body fat one year, two years and four years into the study. According to researchers, leg strength was still preserved three years later among those who had heavy resistance training, but fell in the moderate intensity training and comparison groups.
"This study provides evidence that resistance training with heavy loads at retirement age can have long-term effects over several years," the authors wrote."The results, therefore, provide means for practitioners and policy-makers to encourage older individuals to engage in heavy resistance training.”
