Muscle loss called Sarcopenia plagues our aging society. The root cause is loss of nerve innervation to fast twitch muscle fibers that eventually get replaced by slow twitch muscle fibers due to either lack of physical activity, improper exercise resulting in smaller muscle mass and less efficient muscle function.
Revitalize fast twitch muscle fibers with high intensity resistance training.
Endurance exercise doesn’t affect fast twitch muscle fibers yet it’s the primary form of exercise advised by doctors and health professionals.
“ All hormones in the body affect aging and are affected directly or indirectly by weight training unleashing a powerful growth stimulus that far surpasses any imitation hormonal therapy. Hormones released by weight training determine muscle growth,affect skin texture,tone,build bone and repair damage. These hormones include growth hormone, IGF-1 and testosterone.” Resistance exercise will cause the release of these hormones in young and elderly alike .
