A year of training, four years of strength: this is how your body stays fit!

A groundbreaking study shows that a year of intensive strength training could change your life! Scientists from the Danish Lisa study (Live Active Successful Aging) have found that participants who train with severe resistance training (Heavy Resistance Training, HRT) for a year were able to maintain their muscle strength not only during the training period, but also up to four years later. 451 older adults were divided into three groups, each of which trained differently intensively. The first subjects were exposed to the toughest training pollution, followed by a moderate and a control group that did not train. The results were clear: Group 1 was also significantly fitter and stronger years later, as reported on OE24.at.

Why does this training technique work?

The success of the Heavy Resistance Training lies in its ability to place maximum demands on the muscles and to promote long -term physical adjustments. In older adults in particular, such training can help keep their fitness and independence for years. The study emphasizes that beginners and people can also benefit from strength training with previously inactive lifestyle as long as training is carried out professionally. Clauses such as squats and deadlifts have proven to be particularly effective. Chip.de adds that a moderate start of training also offers long -term advantages, but the strongest effects were shown by the intensive trainers.

For everyone who thinks in the gym: it is never too late to start strength training! The Danish researchers make it clear that people in retirement age should not have inhibitions to raise weights. With the correct guidance and individually adapted training plans, everyone can benefit from the long -lasting advantages of a low to high intensity level without exposing themselves unnecessary risks.
