Strength Training Longevity

Meaning

The clinical and physiological principle that the regular, progressive practice of resistance exercise serves as a powerful intervention to preserve functional independence, enhance metabolic health, and extend healthspan by mitigating age-related decline in muscle mass and bone density. This approach recognizes strength training as a potent hormonal modulator that counters the catabolic effects of sarcopenia and osteopenia. It is a foundational, non-pharmacological strategy for sustained vitality and reduced frailty risk.
