An efficient, effective and safe Strength Training

Aging, even in the absence of chronic disease, is associated with a variety of biological changes that may contribute to declines in skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function. Such losses decrease physiological resilience and increase vulnerability to catastrophic events.

Even with healthy aging (aging in the absence of disease), reductions in physiological resilience often lead to physical disability, impaired mobility, falls, and decreased independence and quality of life. Chronic health conditions, which often accompany aging, such as cardiovascular or metabolic diseases, can exacerbate vulnerability to these conditions and loss of physiological resilience.

Age-related loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) has an estimated prevalence of 10% in adults older than 60 years, rising to >50% in adults older than 80 years. Prevalence rates are lower in older adults who live in the community than in those who reside in assisted living and skilled nursing facilities. The loss of muscle mass is generally gradual, beginning after the age of 30 and accelerating after the age of 60. Previous longitudinal studies have suggested that muscle mass decreases by 1.0-1.4% per year in the lower extremities, which is more than the rate of loss reported in the muscles of the lower extremities.

Superior limbs. Sarcopenia is considered part of the causal pathway for loss of strength, disability, and morbidity in older adult populations.

However, muscle weakness is highly associated with both mortality and physical disability, even when adjusting for sarcopenia, indicating that loss of muscle mass may be secondary to the effects of loss of strength.

The “use” of muscles in the form of strength training has consistently been shown to be a viable and effective means of counteracting muscle weakness and physical fragility, attenuating fatty infiltration

bone loss (associated with osteoporosis) and decreased abdominal and visceral fat mass, metabolic health and insulin sensitivity, treatment of chronic diseases, quality of life, psychological well-being, prolonged independent living, and reduced risk of falls and fractures in older adults. Furthermore, resistance exercise can improve the metabolic capacity of skeletal muscle by improving glucose homeostasis, preventing intramuscular lipid accumulation, increasing the capacity of oxidative and glycolytic enzymes, increasing amino acid absorption and protein synthesis.

how is

training system

Efficient

The most efficient because it seeks to generate the least possible adaptive stimulus. That is, we are going to give the right stimulus that creates a strength gain (more does not have to be better).

Effective

Very effective because it always manages to generate an adaptive stimulus.

Safe

The safest because there is no risk of injury.

INTERVENTION PROGRAM

APPLICABLE TO ELDERLY INSTITUTIONALIZED PEOPLE

After years of studies, between April 16 and June 18, 2021 we carried out a study at the HEGOALDE civic center (Vitoria) with 25 people, in collaboration with BAIGENE S.L.

The objective of the study was “To evaluate, through quantifiable data, the objective improvement of the state of health and the subjective perception of the quality of life, that a personalized strength work in a block of 8 weeks can produce in people between the ages between 70 and 85 years”.
