I don’t think this was the purpose of the study, but the article is misleading: it was a response to the statement that good physical fitness in youth has many health benefits (regardless of actual fitness). The results of the study suggest that it is very complicated to set up comparable groups, because if random mortality (i.e. with no apparent link to fitness in youth) is lower in the group that was active in its youth, it is because some parameter (e.g. socio-economic status, personality) has not been taken into account. Previous statements about the importance of fitness in youth may therefore have been overestimated by this parameter.

It seems interesting, I’ll try it. Thanks !

Thanks ! I’ll have a look.

5 exercises is amply sufficient. For aesthetics, frequency is more important than quantity : it’s better to have 2 exercises 2 times per week than 5 exercises 1 time per week (if your sets stay close to muscular failure of course).

Hi, it depends on your goals. Do you practice for aesthetics (bodybuilding) ? Strength ? Fitness ? Improving sport performance ?

Thank you ! It works perfectly.

I hope you will heal soon ! The litterature recommand stretching and progressive resistance training of the muscle groups involved in the movements that limit you. 😊

I’m currently working in cardiology so it’s a little bit out of my scope. 😬 It doesn’t seem to be well studied but you can find some informations here. Have you ever consulted a physiotherapist ? They are more specialized in pain management than exercise physiologists.

I am an exercise physiologist. There is no active community on reddit, so even less on lemmy. If you know some rehabilitation or physical exercise subs I’ll be happy to join them ! :)
