Resistance Training Becomes the Cornerstone of Mobility After 60
Public health agencies in multiple countries are shifting from cardio-centric advice to recommending regular resistance-based strength training for adults over 60. Evidence shows that strength work preserves muscle mass, balance, and independence better than walking or swimming alone, reducing fall risk and delaying frailty. Accessible, home-friendly routines using bodyweight, bands, and simple props can be effective, prompting policy updates and wider access to programs for older adults.
