Strength is an important prerequisite for health, well-being and performance. Strong muscles can prevent postural deformity and wear and tear on joints. And contribute a lot to the development of performance in sports and everyday life.
Building muscle mass not only tightens tissue or reduces body fat, but also has positive psychological effects, such as increasing self-confidence and self-esteem, or improving body image.
Even in older adulthood, many positive effects can still be achieved with strength training. The effectiveness and benefits of strength training in adults are well supported scientifically. For almost every objective, a measured amount of strength training has positive effects on those who exercise. For example, loss of strength abilities can be reduced to 5% per decade of life - compared to 8 - 10% in untrained individuals. Thus, the performance level between athletes and non-athletes tends to gap wider with age.
