"Muscle mass begins to decline with age, which leads to a gradual loss of strength. Especially fast muscle cells decrease in size, and apparently also in number. This process can be slowed - even prevented and reversed - with muscular exercise. Studies have shown that even people over 80 can notably improve their level of strength. Muscular exercise improves muscle tone and reduces aches and pains. It also helps to maintain the speed and contractility of muscles, which can be of great advantage in unexpected situations such as slipping or falling over.”
