Our meta-analysis, led by @ExerciseBiology, compared power training (performing the concentric phase explosively with a controlled eccentric action) vs traditional strength training tempos in adults aged 60 years and older. Results indicated that power training produced a modest but potentially meaningful improvement in physical function compared with traditional strength training (SMD = 0.30).

Improvements were observed in tasks related to mobility and daily living, such as chair rises, stair climbing, and walking performance. Power training also appeared to improve self-reported physical function, although the certainty of evidence for this outcome was low. The implications are particularly important for older adults because muscle power declines more rapidly with aging and is more strongly associated with functional independence than maximal strength alone.

From a practical standpoint, the results suggest a benefit to dedicating at least a portion of a resistance training program to power-type training.

Lifespan is the headline, healthspan is the key subtext. We chase lifespan because it is measurable.

What people actually want is healthspan. Years of capacity, not decline.

Avg healthy life expectancy globally: ~63 to 65 yrs. Avg lifespan: ~73 yrs. That gap is the story.

High cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with a reduced risk of depression (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.64; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.56–0.74), all-cause dementia (HR = 0.61; 95% CI: 0.55–0.68) and psychotic disorders (HR = 0.71; 95% CI: 0.65–0.77).

A new paper says lifespan gains will be small due to our biology

That’s true - if we don’t change. But if we can change our biological age, the equation changes

Age-related loss of muscle mass: cause and treatment
Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass. Unfortunately, in older people, this age-related decline in muscle mass and strength causes instability and increases the risk of falls and potentially a loss of independence. Understanding the mechanisms responsible for sarcopenia is essential for both prevention and treatment of this problem. For details, check out this recent review

Exercise Literally Rewires Your Brain

Science just confirmed what your body already knows.

Here’s what a massive meta-analysis (52 studies, 1503 people) found:

1. Exercise boosts cognitive performance
• Measurable improvement (Hedges’ g = 0.271)
• Works across multiple thinking skills, not just one

2. Your brain becomes more active
• Strongest changes in the bilateral precuneus
• A key region for attention, memory, and self-processing

3. More brain activation = better thinking
• Direct positive link between brain activity and performance
• Not just correlation, but functional improvement

4. How you exercise matters
• Intensity affects brain response
• Consistency (adherence) strengthens results
• Social workouts may enhance brain engagement

5. This supports “whole-brain” benefits
• Exercise improves multiple cognitive domains
• Backed by real neural evidence, not just behavior

Move your body, upgrade your brain. Every workout is a neurological investment.
