Study shows that high-Intensity Interval Training May Reverse Frailty Among Seniors.
High Intensity Interval Training can Benefit Seniors
In this study published in the Journal of Gerontology, researchers studied the effect of a 10 minute exercise program that included several high-intensity intervals on older, frail mice over the course of sixteen weeks. The study found that these mice experienced dramatic improvements in the following areas compared to mice in the other control group:
- grip strength
- treadmill endurance,
- gait speed
- muscle mass
If these findings apply to human subjects, then introducing seniors to this form of exercise may help them remain active and independent for longer.
