In a new study published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers found that while doing either aerobic exercise or strength training was associated with a lower risk of dying during the study’s time frame, regularly doing both — one to three hours a week of aerobic exercise and one to two weekly strength training sessions — was associated with an even lower mortality risk.
Note that the main goal of strength training for the "Masters Athlete" is improved mobility, strength and balance through older age, and compression of the inevitable uselessness to a small window at the end of life.
It's worth subscribing to Dr Jonathan Sullivan's "Greysteel" channel and buying his book, "The Barbell Prescription"
