More power after 40

[Drago]

i read this in a recent study
what's your opinion


n a nutshell, those folks who displayed above-average muscle power in the original test outlived those with below-average muscle power.
But those study participants who scored a little below average on the power test were up to five times more likely to suffer an early death. Those who scored WAY BELOW average on the power test were 10-13 times more likely to be chilling out in a coffin or a lovely urn.
Researchers concluded that power is strongly related to all-cause mortality.

Post a link. That sounds like a flawed study. It would be interesting to see what they considered to be average, above average, etc.

It makes sense, sound like people who are fit versus sedentary people.

That is all I can figure. If it is men that are huge powerlifters or body builders then I dont think that would hold true. For the most part it is the skinny fit people that live the longest.

I'd like to see a link to that study.
