A University of Sydney study shows for the first time that strength training slows, and sometimes even halts, degeneration in the parts of the brain vulnerable to Alzheimers disease.
Australian researchers have for the first time shown that weights training can protect the parts of the brain vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease.Senior author Michael Valenzuela said it was the first intervention that slowed or halted degenerationThe University of Sydney study, published in the, showed that six months of strength training slowed, and even halted, the degeneration in the hippocampus and its subregions a year after the exercise.
The participants doing strength exercises completed 90 minutes of supervised strength training each week for six months, according to senior author of the study Michael Valenzuela. "In those doing weight training, we saw much less, so 1 to 2 per cent and in some areas none at all."Professor Valenzuela said he was surprised by how clear the results were."There was a clear difference in terms of brain anatomy and linked to that, those people doing strength exercises had far better cognitive outcomes than otherwise.
