Get ready to hit the gym and give your brain a workout as researchers have uncovered exciting evidence suggesting that resistance training could have significant implications in the battle against dementia.
The research, conducted by the Federal University of São Paulo and the University of São Paulo in Brazil, found that resistance training may have significant benefits for individuals with dementia by potentially delaying the onset of Alzheimer's symptoms.
Resistance training is a form of exercise that involves working muscles against weight or force. Previous studies have also indicated that resistance training strengthens brain connections that are prone to deterioration as dementia progresses, suggesting its potential as a protective measure against dementia and symptom alleviation.
