In that previous studies have suggested potential associations between exercise and prostate cancer risk reduction, Jodi A. Antonelli, from Duke University Medical Center (North Carolina, USA), and colleagues enrolled 190 men who underwent prostate needle biopsy and found that those who were moderately active (engaging in 9 or more hours of metabolically active exercise a week) were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Chiung-ju Liu, of Indiana University (USA), and colleagues studied data from 121 trials involving 6,700 older men and women. Overall, the team found that progressive resistance training reduced weakness and improved study subjects’ abilities to perform both basic and more complex tasks of daily living.

Michael Rennie, from The University of Nottingham Schools of Graduate Entry Medicine and Biomedical Sciences (United Kingdom) reports that seniors need only engage in one hour of weightlifting, twice a week, to help preserve muscles that typically decrease with age and may become injured in falls.
Continue reading…In that exercise capacity is inversely related to risk of death, a study has determined that sedentary elderly men are at a markedly increased risk of dying, as compared to those men who engaged in regular physical activity. Peter Kokkinos, from Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (Washington DC, USA), and colleagues studied 3,041 male veterans, ages 70 to 92 years, following the subjects for all-cause mortality for more than 20 years.
