Re: Weight Training Reverses Almost 40 years of Aging—in Six Months

That's interesting, but it isn't clear from the article why the gene

expression profiles should be considered aging-related. The older

people were probably less active than the younger people and certainly

had lower strength as shown. So which was the proximate relator to

the expression profile, age or strength? Maybe the study itself goes

into this more, but from the article it seems simpler to just say they

showed that strength training can reverse the poor-strength state

rather than the aging state.

I haven't had a chance to read the study yet, but Bass is a giving a

summary of what the researchers said they found:

The researchers summarized their findings: " We report here that

healthy older adults show a gene expression profile in skeletal muscle

consistent with mitochondrial dysfunction and associated processes

such as cell death, as compared with young individuals. Moreover,

following a period of resistance exercise training in older adults, we

found that age-associated transcriptome expression changes were

reversed, implying a restoration of a youthful expression profile. "

I don't know if that is entirely accurate or not but here is a link to

the study if you get a chance to read it before I do.
