Study Finds Strength Training Linked to Lower Mortality Risk
A new study analyzing nearly 150,000 US health professionals over 30 years found that engaging in 90 to 120 minutes of strength training weekly is linked to a 13% lower risk of death from any cause. The reduction was particularly notable for cardiovascular disease (19%) and neurological conditions like dementia (27%). Combining strength training with recommended aerobic exercise further lowered mortality risk by about 45%. However, exceeding two hours of weightlifting weekly did not provide additional benefits.
