Yep, Strength Training Can Benefit Older Men and Women Equally Elizabeth Millard
Sports Medicine suggests resistance training benefits men and women equally.
While men may gain more overall muscle mass and be able to lift more weight, women still gain comparable muscle mass relative to their stature.
The message is simple: Resistance training is important for those of any age and s , and can help prevent and treat many age-related chronic diseases, as well as improve strength.
If you’re over 50 years old, or heading that way soon, adding resistance training to your running routine can yield major benefits and a recent research review suggests that’s true for both men and women.

While exercising regularly has many health benefits, a new study suggested that stroke survivors who completed a cardiac rehabilitation program focused on aerobic exercise significantly improved their ability to transition from sitting to standing, and how far they could walk during a six-minute walking test. The research was published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association , an open-access journal of the American Heart Association. Cardiac rehabilitation is a structured exercise program prevalent in the U.S. for people with cardiovascular disease that has been shown to increase cardiovascular endurance and improve quality of life. Despite many similar cardiovascular risk factors, stroke is not among the covered diagnoses for cardiac rehab.
