Whew! Glad to hear it was just the training program. I’m 73 and do resistance training 4-5 days a week and walk most every day and am more fit than ever. Glad it won’t necessarily come to a screeching halt at 80!

I will suggest that if you are 80 year old person in today's world with all the chaos and stress of daily living, you are extremely strong and very blessed❤

Great observation. Scientists often come up with conclusions that don’t analyze their data and brains

[spgtenor]

It's always reassuring to see an expert who looks like they just finished college critique the fitness of people in their 80s.

[jhemsley]

yeah that’s the scientific method now you make your own experiment with the proper training program

Studies in general suck. Not only training studies. Joannidis 2005 "Why most research results are false". For starters nutrition, training, covid climate ...
