With ageing, not all muscle fibres deteriorate equally. Those critical for higher-intensity activity suffer most: The larger and faster type II muscle fibres. Despite being recreationally active (but not strength training), older men aged 69 on average had: - 32% smaller type II fibres - 53% more type I (slow) fibres - 18-fold more grouped type I fibres (a sign of type II fibre loss) All compared to younger males aged 22 on average. The only thing known to counter these age-related effects in type II fibres? Resistance training. The muscles of 73 year-old masters strength athletes resembled those of people younger than 30. Compared to older controls they had: - 49% more type II fibres - 82% more grouped type I fibres - Virtually no atrophic (very small) fibres Strength training isn’t just about staying strong - it’s the only way to preserve type II muscle fibres as you age.

Lets go Canadian master running legend Earl Fee My long time 95 year old pal, has nearly 60 world records. This Sunday, Earl is going after the 800m World Track Running Record in the men's 95-99 year old category. The current record is 6:03.84 by an American runner. Go Earl
