☺EVEN IN 60 & 70 YR OLD MEN & WOMEN NEW TO WEIGHT TRAINING. AND USING "ONLY PLATE LOADED MACHINES". [🤔"FREE WEIGHTS" LIKELY EVEN BETTER.- I CONTEND] FINDINGS : 😃"Gene expression changes associated with aging are reversed to youthful levels after 6 months of exercise training." MOREOVER; THE STUDY FOUND... 🤩"Exercise is more likely to affect “aging” genes than genes not associated with age." 68 [ACTIVE- NOT WEIGHT TRAINING] YR OLDS. [N=25] - VS - 24 YR OLDS [NON EXERCISING] [N=26] STUDIED AT FIRST : ONLY "50% OF 1 REP MAX USED" [AS ALL PARTICIPANTS WERE NEW TO WEIGHT TRAINING] LATER ON : "80% OF 1 REP MAX USED." " 3 SETS EACH. 12 EXERCISES TOTAL. 2× PER WEEK. ADJUSTED FOR NEW 1 REP MAX EVERY 2 WEEKS... 6 MONTH DURATION. RESULTS: "The researchers identified 596 differentially expressed genes (meaning atypical to other genes being analyzed). Of these, after 26 weeks of resistance training the researchers identified 179 genes associated with age and exercise showing a reversal of their gene expression.: 😃"This means quite literally that the resistance training was not only slowing, but also reversing the aging process at the gene level." "The gene expressions of the resistance trained older subjects demonstrated characteristics similar to those of the younger group. The researchers also noted that mitochondrial impairment, normally seen with inactivity, was reversing with the 6 months of resistance training. In muscular strength, the peak isometric strength of the older population was initially 59% lower than the younger population. After 26 weeks of training, the older population peak strength was only 38% lower than that of the younger group." ‼️🟩[AGAIN - IN 6 MONTHS] 😁😁 ❗🟩[LONGER STUDY MIGHT HAVE BEEN WISE IF POSSIBLE- & LIKELY EASILY WOULD SHOW GREATER GAINS] 🟩[DIET WAS NOT EVEN TOUCHED.] 🟩[NOR WERE OTHER LIFESTYLE FACTORS MODIFIED.] ‼️🟩[SO HOW MUCH UNTAPPED POTENTIAL WAS UNEXPLORED IN THIS STUDY.] ❗🟩[BUT IT DOES PROVE WEIGHT TRAINING ALONE HAS AN IMPACT-!] "BOTTOM LINE SUMMARY FINDING." "This novel study demonstrated that resistance training can reverse aspects of aging at the gene level." "For years personal trainers and fitness professionals have exclaimed the functional movement and health benefits of resistance exercise." "Now, trainers can share with their clients that regular, progressive resistance training (see Side Bar 2 for helpful tips when training mature exercises) also improves the muscle's longevity profile at the molecular level. It is well known that long-term resistance training is associated with a lower risk to age-associated morbidity and mortality. This original study may be a first step in explaining how some of these positive changes occur."
