🎄 Advent Calendar: It's Time to Open Door Number #5 - Let's Talk About #MusclePower! Click the link to open a new door: https://lnkd.in/dtjVm_2r ➡️ Each year, 20–40% of older adults experience falls, often leading to fractures, traumatic brain injuries, and increased mortality rates. ➡️ Beyond the physical consequences, the psychological effects, such as the fear of falling, often result in decreased physical activity, social isolation, and a reduced quality of life. 🖐 How does #muscle #power come into play? 👉 Muscle power is a strong predictor of fall risk. A study by Skelton DA shows that muscle strength decreases by 1.8–2.0% per year, while #muscle #power declines more rapidly, at 3.2–3.7% annually, in adults aged 65–89. 👉 Studies confirms that resistance training, whether performed independently or as part of a multimodal program, significantly improves maximal strength, muscle mass, muscle power, and functional independence, effectively reducing fall risk in older adults. 💪 The benefits of regular physical activity focused on strength, power, and balance include: ✅ Resistance training to combat muscle loss and build power. ✅ Balance exercises to enhance stability and reduce fall risks. ✅ Comprehensive programs to improve coordination, mobility, and independence. Tailored interventions are highly effective, improving both physical and functional outcomes for older adults, including those with disabilities. 🌟 #Falls #FallPrevention #MusclePower #StrengthTraining #HealthyAgeing References: 1.

🎄 Advent Calendar: It's Time to Open Door Number #12 – The impact of physical activity (#PA) on #longevity 🔗 Click here to open a new door: https://lnkd.in/dtjVm_2r   A study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine) reveals that objectively measured physical activity (#PA) is the most powerful predictor of all-cause mortality among older adults. The research demonstrates that particular physical activity metrics surpass traditional predictors, underscoring the critical importance of prioritizing physical activity for healthier aging. 🏃♂️ 👉 Read the study here: https://lnkd.in/dkTmeNgM Andrew Leroux Erjia Cui Ekaterina Smirnova John Muschelli Jennifer A Schrack Ciprian Crainiceanu #PhysicalActivity #Health #Mortality #Aging #Research #PublicHealth #MedSciSportsExerc

Happy #Thursday! As we celebrate Healthy Aging Month this September, it's a great time to focus on the crucial role that staying active plays in our long-term health. Did you know that just 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise each week can reduce the risk of early death by up to 21%? And keep in mind that the greater the intensity, the greater the reduced risk. Here’s how you can promote longevity and work towards those 150 minutes: 1️⃣ Walking: Increase intensity by adding a weighted vest and incorporating hills. 2️⃣ Resistance Training: Experience more benefits with multi joint movements and higher weights. 3️⃣ Recreational Sports: Activities like basketball, pickleball, kickball, and others are both fun and effective!
