A new study has found that strength training can provide even more benefits beyond just building muscle and increasing physical strength. The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan, looked at the effects of strength training on a group of older adults.
The study found that strength training not only increased muscle mass and strength, but it also improved cognitive function, reduced symptoms of depression, and improved overall quality of life in the participants. Additionally, the study found that strength training was just as effective as aerobic exercise in improving cardiovascular health.
These findings highlight the importance of incorporating strength training into a well-rounded exercise routine, especially for older adults. It also suggests that the benefits of strength training go beyond just physical health and can have positive impacts on mental health and overall well-being.
