Study Reveals 90 to 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. 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 also indicated a 19% reduction in cardiovascular disease mortality and a 27% decrease in neurological disease mortality for those who adhered to this regimen. The study highlights the benefits of strength training, including improved bone strength, balance, and weight management. However, it noted that no additional benefits were observed beyond 120 minutes of weekly training.
