Strength Training for Seniors

Michael Fekete
A comprehensive guide to strength training and conditioning for seniors. Strength Training for Seniors includes both theory and specific exercises for improving health and fitness, while maintaining seniors` mobility and motor skills. Several long-term studies have confirmed that strength is one of the key aspects of general fitness that can be improved and maintained to a very late age. A higher level of strength has a positive influence on the hormonal and immune systems, builds stronger bones, and helps prevent such age-related diseases such as diabetes and osteoporosis. Better strength equals a better psychological outlook, improved sleeping, better sex, resistance to stress, and better mental acuity. Strength Training for Seniors includes the following topics: - Health and Fitness Assessment - Practical Conditions for Training - Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Habits - Strength Training Equipment - How to Start Strength Training - Key Exercises
