In Aging Cell, researchers have described the specific cell types that give exercise protective effects against motor nerve degeneration. A different level of back problems With aging, the prevalence of nerves connecting to muscle tissue dwindles, a phenomenon known as denervation [1]. This has been linked to a depopulation of the alpha motor neurons in...
Ready to sprint
In the European Journal of Protective Cardiology, researchers have published evidence that the intensity of exercise is somewhat more important than volume in reducing all-cause mortality risk, although both have significant correlations. The questions of how long and how much Conventional wisdom had maintained that exercise must be conducted in continuous periods to be of...

A new study analyzed how being an elite athlete in various sports affects human lifespan. Some of the results were surprising [1]. Elite sports and aging Longevity enthusiasts have long wondered if professional athletes live longer than the general population and what sports show stronger associations with lifespan. In a new study published in the...

A recent paper has reported on improving muscle function in aged mice through combined treatment of exercise and the inhibition of NNMT, an enzyme involved in NAD+ metabolism [1]. Age-related muscle loss Muscle loss is a common problem in the aging population. Studies estimate that “after age 50, adults lose approximately 1% of their muscle...
Weekend backpackers
According to a new study, “weekend warriors”, people who have most of their physical activity over one or two days a week, enjoy the most robust risk reduction for several brain health-related conditions [1]. Couch potato, except on weekends Exercise is universally necessary to stay healthy for longer. It is one of the three staples...

Researchers publishing in Aging have found a molecule linking exercise to the inhibition of cellular senescence, one of the hallmarks of aging. Exercise against senescence Why we Age: Cellular SenescenceAs your body ages, more of your cells become senescent. Senescent cells do not divide or support the tissues of which they are part; instead, they...
