Maximal Exercise Reverses Cardiac Aging

Behavior change in fitness should focus on protocols that individuals can consistently implement daily. Engaging in maximal aerobic exercise—as evidenced by a study involving 53 participants aged around 50—can significantly reverse age-related heart decline.

This suggests that targeted and sustained aerobic activity can effectively enhance cardiac function and mitigate age-related deterioration.
