CR + ON + Exercise ......... Was Re: 2 CR videos

[Guest guest]

Hi Homeboyx:

Unfortunately I have been having trouble accessing any pdf documents

the past couple of weeks. So I have not been able to read your link.

But the issue here is not whether there is benefit from exercise

among the general population. The question at issue is whether

exercise provides benefit for ***people on CRON***.

By benefit is meant: extended maximum lifespan in CRON individuals

(lots of studies have found definitively no benefit of this kind);

rectangularized survival curve in CRON individuals (I am not aware of

any papers showing this, and I have linked one which demonstrated no

such benefit); or other, perhaps less tangible, demonstrated benefits

to health.

[Most here, including me, will acknowledge a benefit from weight

bearing exercise for prevention of osteoporosis; In addition I have

often observed that if we expect to live to a great age it would also

be nice to have: " enough strength to carry stuff around the house;

enough endurance to play a full round of golf with a few favorite

clubs, without a cart; enough flexibility to pick things up off the

floor without thinking about it; and enough testosterone for whatever

purpose we might need it for. " ]

So, given the above, if you know of papers done by objective

researchers which reported well controlled studies which found that

exercise extended average or maximum lifespan in any mammal species

***maintained on a CRON diet***, please post them because most of us,

including me, are not aware of them.

Sincerely, if you were to provide an accessible reference, I would be

eager to read any such study, and very likely pay attention to its

findings if they were persuasive. (Bear in mind that the people

associated with Aerobics are hardly an unbiased source for

this kind of information, as has previously been discussed here.)
