Weight training may protect the brain from cognitive decline – Harvard Health
Results from a recent study suggest regular weight training may keep your brain strong as you age. Scientists recruited 44 adults (ages 55 or older) who were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and randomly divided them into two groups. One group did twice-a-week weight training workouts with progressive load, meaning they added weight and did more of each exercise as their muscles strengthened. The people in the other group didn’t do any weight training.
