As part of a new study, research has shown that those in their mid-70s who have been active for most of their lives have similar cardiovascular health as 40-45 year old's. The group in their 70s had been maintaining exercises that consisted of running and/or cycling about 4-6 days a week. Research also found that the health of the muscles of this same group was about the same as the muscles of those who were 25 years old. Although the study was relatively small, the findings, which were published in the Journal of Applied Physiology in August, suggest a dramatic benefit of lifelong exercise for both muscle health and the cardiovascular system.
