bodybuilding for older people
It is believed that as a person gets older they slowly and gradually start getting fatter and that it is indeed normal to gain fat tissue as you age. These are the people that need some Wt training so as to remain in shape. However, such an opinion is unmitigated common consciousness nonsense and past accepted bad medical myth. It is also believed that as you age, you tend to lose lean body mass muscle. Once again pointing towards requirement of bodybuilding for older people. While this is partially true, the general feeling that with age fat replaces muscle density volume owing to muscles atrophy is without any base.
The facts with respect to bodybuilding for older people and their Wt training are:
If you consume more calories than you need, then over the years as you mature, these excess calories can be stored as body fat. This can happen very rapidly or a little at a time. Any excess food can be turned into body fat if the calories contained in the amount eaten of this food are more than what the body needs. Muscles that are unused deteriorate with age. These muscles also deteriorate if they are not used at any age. In the case of young people, their activity levels, emotional growth and recreational expression can and do preserve as well as create lean mass. As you age, there is a reduction in the sexual hormone which controls lean mass, along with less mental motivation to be athletically active due to emotional and social circumstances. This is what promotes the requirement of adequate Wt training. It has been established scientifically that if sexual vigor is maintained through use, it stimulates anabolic vigor in the system and lean mass potential in adults as they age. This process slows down the advancing aging processes and allows true genetic potential of the human being to be achieved and preserved. Such a person would maintain his muscle and would not require Wt training.
Similar relationship can be maintained through resistance training that creates higher efficiency in the endocrine system hormonal production patterns and keeps the muscles toned. This case also does not require any programmed Wt training.
The key to remain fit is activity, Wt training and proper nutritional habits in proportion to energy needs. This shall not only develop and preserves muscle but will also maintain the hormonal endocrine system which mediates the aging principle in general and all energy systems in the body. Therefore, if you do not use your muscles - you shall lose them.
This is a fact that Wt training can be undertaken at any age safely by those who want and need it for strength performance enhancement. It is only those that accept the aging mythology that get top be weak old obese men and ladies who do not actively train or attempt to maintain a physical/mental and lean active condition. As you age you require to undertake Wt training to remain fit.
