Study Reveals 90-120 Minutes of Weekly Strength Training May Extend Lifespan
A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that engaging in 90 to 120 minutes of strength training per week can significantly reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular and neurological diseases, as well as from any cause. The study, which spanned 30 years and involved 147,374 participants, found that this amount of strength training was associated with a 13% lower risk of death from any cause. The research highlights the benefits of strength training, including improved bone strength, balance, weight management, and cardiovascular health. The study also noted that more than 120 minutes of strength training per week did not provide additional benefits.
