We can actively fight back against age-related decline with resistance training.
In a new study, 10 weeks of resistance trainings restore levels of NAD+.
This is in in middle-aged, overweight, and untrained individuals.
Included leg/hip sled movements, leg extensions, lying leg curls, among others.
Participants aged 55-63 were asked to rate exercises difficulty (0-easy, 10-hard).
Weight was reduced for those who rated it 10 or failed to finish.
While challenge was increased for those who rated 7 or lower.
After 10 weeks NAD+ in muscle cells was more than doubled.
Similar to the levels present in a college-aged test group of the study.
