• In 1989 some doctors from Tufts University selected a group of residents in a nursing home and put them in a training program to over charge. You might think that the fact that suddenly come to physical exercise lead to extreme fatigue or even kill people who are so fragile, but it held. After eight weeks spent muscles had recovered 300 percent, coordination and balance had increased and recovered all the pleasure of physical activity.
• The new experience was repeated by Dr. Maria Fiatarone, the Rehabilitation and Prevention Center on Aging in Boston. There was taken in 20 patients (12 women and 8 men) aged that roamed the 86 to 96 years old with very sedentary habits, for more than poor diet and various physical disabilities such as arthritis. These patients completed an exercise program of 2 months in 3 weekly sessions consisted of a progressive plan of muscular strength training. The plan included the work of the quadriceps, hamstrings and adductors through different exercises. The results were both amazing. Participants after the program participants had increased their muscle strength by an average of 174 percent and a reaction rate to 48 percent. After 4 weeks were left without training. After this time it was found that peak muscle force has Bia dropped 32 percent. The conclusion was that some of the weakness attributed to aging treatment, as were people over 85 years, can be modified through exercise.
