Power in Movement: Embrace Speed Over Weight
Power is defined as the speed at which an individual can move a given weight, highlighting its importance alongside strength for overall health, particularly after age 60. While muscle and strength are crucial, power output requires equal attention, especially as it tends to decline quickly beginning in middle age. Engaging in exercises that focus on lifting lighter weights quickly, as practiced by power lifters, demonstrates that power training can effectively maintain and enhance physical performance, making it essential to incorporate speed-oriented practices into fitness routines.
