Just 4 Minutes of Daily Strength Training Can Quadruple Fitness in Older Adults
Reported bySciTechDaily ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
A 12-week study of 97 adults aged 65 and older found that four minutes of daily strength training improved mobility markers tied to fall risk, independence, and future care needs; researchers tested a program called FAST 2 involving simple movements like pushups and squats.
The findings are from a small clinical trial; effects may vary across different older adult populations.
