Recent research from Rio de Janeiro highlights the importance of power, defined as the ability to exert strength quickly, for individuals aged 46 to 75. This attribute is more predictive of early mortality compared to relative strength. The study suggests that improvement in power can significantly enhance daily movement capabilities, reducing fall risk and enhancing quality of life. Therefore, focusing on developing power may be just as essential, if not more, than traditional strength training, especially as individuals age.
In a recently completed study that tracked almost 4,000 men and women aged between 46 and 75, power was a stronger predictor of mortality than relative strength.
Power plays a pivotal role in day-to-day movement, from running up a flight of stairs to catching yourself when you fall, making it important for quality of life.
