Study Links 90-120 Minutes Weekly Strength Training to Lower Mortality Risk
A 30-year study involving 147,374 participants found that 90 to 120 minutes of weekly strength training is linked to a 13% lower risk of death from any cause, including 19% and 27% reductions in cardiovascular and neurological disease mortality, respectively. Benefits increased when combined with aerobic exercise, but no additional gains were observed beyond 120 minutes of strength training per week.
