Current research has demonstrated that strength-training exercises have the ability to combat weakness and frailty and their debilitating consequences. Done regularly (e.g., 2 to 3 days per week), these exercises build muscle strength and muscle mass and preserve bone density, independence, and vitality with age.
People with stronger muscles are less likely to fall and, when they do take a tumble, less likely to sustain a serious injury. Loss of muscle strength and mass aren't the only factors that contribute to age-related declines in function and mobility.
To get substantial health benefits, older adults need three types of activity each week: moderate- or vigorous-intensity aerobic, muscle-strengthening, and balance activities. Some activities, such as yoga, tai chi, gardening, and many sports, include more than one type of physical activity.
