A key pillar of any healthy longevity plan: Muscle strength. Most people only care about strength once it starts to limit them. Why you should maximise your “strengthspan”, no matter your age: 🧵

Capturing 24-h movement helps us to probe the mechanisms by which our daily activity profile, including sitting and sleep🏃‍♂️🪑🧘‍♀️💤 may influence our risk of disease risk.. An interesting read to start your 2025! 🎉 @EsmeeBakker__ @ThijsEijsvogels onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

We use VO2Reserve as the criterion to consider age-related changes in resting metabolic rate and cardiovascular fitness. Thanks to all the co-authors @MarkATully @AnnemarieKo @jcbrond

Thrilled to share that the second paper of my Ph.D. is now published. We have established moderate and vigorous physical activity intensity cut-points for hips, wrists, thigh and back accelerometers in very old adults. Link: 10.1111/sms.70009

Exercise is medicine: The new global exercise guidelines for healthy longevity in older adults are here. With exercise recommendations to address >14 chronic diseases, adverse outcomes, and geriatric syndromes including: ✅ Falls ✅ Cancer ✅ Dementia ✅ Type 2 diabetes ✅ Depression and anxiety A key focus is the need for personalised exercise prescription and translating the evidence to practice. “The ultimate goal is enhanced quality of life, regardless of age or initial state of fitness or frailty.”

@Vale_Muollo Happy to see this published 🙂 Congrats 👍👍

📢 Excited to share our latest study with Paolo Caserotti on power training & bone health in mobility-limited older adults! Key takeaway: 💪Power training boosts bone strength (radius) & muscle strength. Read more: 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

📯 End-of-year round-up.🥁 A look back at some of the top outputs from the #ProPASS Consortium and it's ECR's this year. Showcasing the 'proof-of-principle', the potential impact and capacity for global expansion- moving toward more accurate, representative health guidance!

Many thanks to @JSHS_MedHealth for the invitation 🙏 We enjoyed reflecting on the field of #PhysicalActivity Any other reflections? We look forward to conversations beyond this paper. @Ulf_Ekelund @AdrianBauman @pjclare sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great Cross Talk in J Physiol: bit.ly/4c62wNb Reduced oxidative capacity of skeletal muscle mitochondria IS/is NOT a fundamental consequence of adult ageing. This knowledge is critical to inform effective interventions to maintain health with ageing.

Exercise boosts brain health with ageing. And new data shows just how long the benefits can last. In older adults aged 65-85, markers of cognitive health linked to memory (hippocampal-dependent spatial learning) were improved for up to 5 years after 6 months of high-intensity treadmill exercise. Impressive work from @miaschaumberg and team! aginganddisease.org/EN/10.14336/AD…

An update of the "Expert Consensus Guidelines on Aging and Exercise" is coming soon! 🌟 Published three years ago, this update provides updated, evidence-based recommendations tailored for clinical implementation. 📚t.co/oCBX61jQVm 📚 Stay tuned to enhance exercise program efficacy, applicability, and comprehensiveness to meet current health challenges faced by older populations. #Aging #Exercise #HealthGuidelines

Our new umbrella review of cohort studies and meta-analyses on daily steps and all-cause mortality is published today in Preventive Medicine. Heterogeneity is an issue but evidence is quite robust. Find out more: doi.org/10.1016/j.ypme…

WHO latest report shows 1/3 adults (1.8 billion) do not meet recommended levels of physical activity - this increases risk of NCDs. Wake up call for more action & investment in PA. Read more in Lancet Global Health tinyurl.com/39ysuhx6
