What is Muscle Power?
Muscle strength is essential for smooth daily functioning and varies per person, depending on age and movement level.
Why is it important?
Strong muscles reduce exercise during daily tasks, prevent fatigue, reduce the risk of injuries, reduce risk of falling, promote self-reliance and even reduce back pain.
How can you Maintain or Improve it?
By doing muscle-reinforced exercises regularly, preferably two to three times a week. Important guidelines are:
- Start with a good warm-up.
- Stop if exercises are painful.
- Train large muscle groups and keep muscles in balance.
- Build up intensity gradually.
- Repeat exercises and rest.
- Watch your breathing.
- Use weight if desired, but focus on repetitions.
If training is not your thing, stay active in daily life with walking, cycling and stairs, although specific strength training is the most effective.
