Your Legs Are Predicting Your Brain's Future
There is a study I think about constantly in my clinic, and I want to tell you about it, because it changed how I talk to women about strength training. In the late 1990s, researchers at King's College London measured the leg power of 324 healthy female twins. The women were between 43 and 73 years old — midlife through early old age. Nothing exotic was done to them. They sat on a machine called a Nottingham Power Rig and pushed, hard, one leg at a time. The machine recorded how much explosive power they produced. The researchers also tested their thinking: memory, learning, processing speed. Then everyone went home and lived their lives for ten years.
