urodzinki ??? to ffszystkiego najlepszego !!!
btw, niech zywi nie tracom nadziei hrhr :
In a study of 18 men aged 60 to 75, Ohio University physiologists found that subjects who took part in a 16-week weight-training program were 50 to 80 percent stronger by the end of the study.
When researchers compared the strength gains of the elderly participants to findings from other studies of college-age men, they found similar changes in strength and muscle size in both age groups.
The men - who all were in good health and closely monitored during testing and training - performed leg presses, half squats and leg extensions twice a week to exercise their lower body.
When they started the study, the men were able to leg press an average of about 375 pounds. After the 16-week program, they could take on about 600 pounds.
But, that's only half the story.
As well as the increase in strength, researchers found that weight lifting had a beneficial impact on the men's cardiovascular system. Treadmill tests show that they performed better after weight training.
Blood samples taken at the end of the study also show that HDL cholesterol went up and LDL cholesterol went down.
Other studies show equally impressive results.
In one ten-week trial, a periodized weight-training program was shown to improve muscle strength and power in both young (average age of 30) and older (average age of 61) men.
As you might expect, squat strength was higher in the young compared with older men at all testing occasions.
But what's exciting is that the older men actually gained strength more quickly than the young men (40% versus 23%, respectively).
No matter what your age, you can still get broader shoulders or a bigger bench press. You can still burn off the fat from your belly to reveal a flatter stomach. It might take a little longer than it did 20 years ago. However, with a little patience, and a desire to work for it with all your heart, you'll be surprised at what your body is capable of.
