TN50#24, Be Hard to Kill, 14 June 2021
Hi Team,
Happy Monday and welcome to The Next 50 #24.
BLUF: Lifting weights makes you harder to kill.
Need the numbers? Check out the abstract results from this Meta-Analysis.
Short on time, here are the highlights:
- 11 total studies
- 370,256 participants
- Mean follow up of 8.85 years
Based on the findings, people who lift weight are 21% harder to kill (all-cause mortality) than people who don’t exercise! The numbers for people who lift weights and perform metabolic conditioning are even better – seriously, check out the abstract!
Some of you always want to understand things at the cellular level so here is the full text.
Thoughts?
Have a good one, Alex
