The beverage hydration index is a measure for how well the body retains fluid after exercise with different beverages. Some surprises?? Read the blog on https://t.co/pelF0eDpt4

Effect of sit-to-stand based training...

[Jackson Fyfe, PhD @jacksonfyfe]

3 sets of repeated chair stands (5 or 10 reps per set), 3 times per week.

Sound feasible?

Over 8 weeks, this was enough to improve:

Muscle thickness: ⬆️8-9%
Muscle quality index: ⬆️40-45%
Relative sit-to-stand power: ⬆️29-38%

Resistance training doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective.

Care homes are a team; let's not underestimate all the support staff as well as the care workers.

@NUHCriticalCare @CritCareMatron @MariaShallow @scott1purser @jobarrow79 @tabsfeline @KateWhittle2 This is great! No need to wait until you get home 😂

[Katie Hayes @katiehayes77]

Increasing trend of falls in 50-60 years, likely related to reducing muscle strength and mass. Even more convincing to start strength training and pay into your muscle pension for later life #getupgetdressedgetmoving

Useful information. Exercise shouldn't be overlooked 🦵

[The Knee Resource @thekneeresource]

Thanks to @mykneedoc for flagging this commentary up. IMO, injections theoretically allow people to exercise but evidence suggests there’s no additional benefit vs exercise alone. People may be scared to exercise and irritate their less painful knee https://t.co/cW7Alb5Fkc

So important

[Age UK @age_uk]

For many older people, hobbies are a great way to spend spare time and an opportunity to interact with friends over a shared interest.

For those who are more isolated, it can help give life a purpose.

What is multiple sclerosis? MS is a condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. Have a look at our overview of what MS is, and the treatments and support available. Please RT!

Strengthening exercises are part of the WHO guidelines for all adults. Need to promote this better @Strength4_Life @exerciseworks @physiOtago @PHPWCouncil #strengthtraining #strengthforlife #strengthsaveslives

[MS Society UK @mssocietyuk]

Scientists agree: we’ve never been so close to stopping MS. We can see a future where no one has to worry about their MS getting worse.

This Christmas, make a life-changing gift for #MSResearch and help us #StopMS: https://t.co/KqDXhNcDDw Please RT.

[Alzheimer's Research UK @AlzResearchUK]

We can’t change our age or our genes and there is currently no way we can completely prevent dementia. However, there may be some simple steps we can all take to help lower our risk.

[ARMA @WeAreARMA]

Moving and physical activity, if you have a health condition or not, really helps musculoskeletal health, strengthening bones and muscles and stabilising joints. We all have a role in good musculoskeletal health, what’s yours? #BoneJointWeek https://t.co/hE4ZrbJyi7
