STRENGTH TRAINING IS THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH ❗

Strength training for longevity focuses on preserving muscle mass, joint function, balance and metabolic health as we all age. It’s about training smart and sustainably, not just hard.

This style of training helps prevent:
- Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss)
- Osteoporosis
- Falls and fractures
- Chronic disease (diabetes, heart disease, etc.)
- Loss of independence

Progressive strength training is essential for maintaining the independent ability to complete daily activities, sharpen the neuromuscular system to decrease falls and help avoid injuries that could derail long term progress. This type of training is important for anyone over the age of 35, those who have a more sedentary job or retirees who want to maintain an independent lifestyle.

Fun facts regarding strength training:
- Muscle strength is a better predictor for mortality than BMI.
- Higher grip strength correlates with a longer life and better healthspan
- Regular strength training improves insulin sensitivity, bone density, mental health and brain function.

Pickleball has been the fastest growing sport in the country! Even though the sport itself is slower paced and lower impact, there are fast position changes, quick changes in direction and repetitive activities that really skyrocket the risk of injury.

These injuries include:
- Achilles' tendon injuries
- calf strains
- Low back pain
- knee injuries
- shoulder injuries

The best way to minimize injury risk is to adopt a great warm up and cool down program, be more aware of body signals in regards to pain under stress of exercise and involve your favorite physical therapist for both preventative and rehabilitative needs! 💪
