Strength training, improving VO2 max and building mass has rightly been the main focus of the exercising modalities of anti-aging movement. But power training, which focuses on improving the ability to generate force quickly, has been discovered to help with our cognative health and is essential for helping us move in later life for several reasons:

1. Preservation of Muscle Mass: As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass and strength, a process known as sarcopenia. Power training helps to preserve muscle mass by stimulating muscle fibers that may not be activated through traditional strength training alone.

2. Maintaining Functional Mobility: Power training enhances the ability to perform daily activities that require quick bursts of movement, such as rising from a chair, climbing stairs, or catching oneself if stumbling. This helps maintain functional mobility and independence in later life.

3. Fall Prevention: Falls are a significant risk for older adults and can lead to serious injuries. Power training improves balance, reaction time, and coordination, reducing the risk of falls by enabling individuals to react more quickly to prevent or recover from a loss of balance.

4. Bone Health: Power training, especially when combined with impact exercises, can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, a condition characterized by fragile bones prone to fractures.

5. Enhanced Quality of Life: Being able to move quickly and confidently contributes to an individual's overall quality of life by enabling participation in activities they enjoy, whether it's playing with grandchildren, engaging in recreational sports, or simply navigating daily life with ease.

Overall, power training plays a crucial role in promoting healthy aging by preserving muscle mass, improving mobility and balance, reducing the risk of falls, and enhancing overall quality of life. This is why we focus all our anti-aging fitness on the ability to regain the ability to sprint - the ultimate power movement!
