Research could lead to improved quality of life in elderly

02/13/12

New research reveals that training in muscle power can improve the functional capacity as well as the quality of life in senior citizens.

The study was conducted by the Biomechanics and Physiology of Movement research group at the Public University of Navarre led by Professor Mikel Izquierdo-Redin at the Universidad de Navarra in Spain.

“It has been established how people between 60 and 70 years of age who participated in a four-month training program to develop muscular strength and mass regained the functional capacity and muscle power of 20 years previously; in other words, they were the same as their peers who started the same training program at the age of 40," Izquierdo said.

Improving muscle power and the quality of life in the elderly can lead to greater longevity as well as a happier life. However, illness and serious medical conditions can crop up in those of old age, which is why young adults are encouraged to purchase a life insurance policy while the rates are still low. Comparing life insurance quotes online will give the person an idea of how much coverage will cost given certain factors they represent.
