Scientists answer: how to exercise in later life
Ageing is a natural biological process, but it does not necessarily have to involve a marked decline in physical and cognitive function. Modern scientific research shows that many age-related changes can be significantly slowed or even halted.
One of the most effective approaches is regular physical activity, especially strength training. It can significantly increase muscle strength, improve mobility, balance and the ability to perform daily activities, and have a positive effect on bone mineral density, metabolism and the management of chronic diseases.
Presented by
Dr. Nerijus Masiulis
Prof. Nerijus Masiulis is one of Lithuania’s best-known scientists in the field of exercise physiology. His research covers skeletal muscle biology, physical activity, strength training, healthy ageing and muscle–brain interactions. He leads the international research group “Muscle–Brain Interactions”, which aims to investigate the effects of exercise and muscle activity on brain function, cognitive processes and human health.
