We still tell older adults to "stay active". The evidence supports far more.

New in @LancetLongevity : exercise preserves function in the community, in hospital and in long-term care. The gap is implementation.

💡 JAMA Insights: #PhysicalActivity is an effective component of care for people with #chronic #medical conditions, and #clinician #communication can help support behavior change.

This JAMA Insights article indicates that supportive conversations should acknowledge common barriers, frame activity as achievable daily movement rather than only structured exercise, and emphasize that any increase in activity can benefit health.

Exercise.
"We found that 50% of these age-related differences were absent in trained older adults, resulting in profiles resembling those of young adults."

🆕Estudio en @BJSM_BMJ con 147.374 participantes sugiere que hacer 90–120 min/semana de entrenamiento de fuerza 🏋️‍♂️se asocia con menor riesgo de mortalidad💀

Y mejor aún: combinar fuerza + ejercicio aeróbico parece ofrecer el mayor beneficio 💪🚶‍♀️

What's the right amount of time for resistance training?
A new study supports 90-120 minutes/week across multiple outcomes, which plateaus beyond that for lack of additional benefit

Our new paper in SCJ reframes LTAD as Long Term Activity Development - a more inclusive approach that prioritizes movement competence, strength, confidence and lifelong participation in physical activity.
