The importance of maintaining muscle strength as we age
As we age, our muscles naturally start to shrink and weaken, which puts us at risk of frailty, falls, and fractures. This can have significant negative impacts on our health and functional independence. However, it is not inevitable, and resistance training can help us maintain and even build muscle strength, reducing the risk of these negative outcomes.
