Exercise (general physical activity, strength training, stretching) is particularly important after a certain age for building and maintaining muscle. -It slows down muscle loss (which naturally decreases with age); regular exercise helps slow this process. - It strengthens muscles, increases muscle strength, and improves bone density, which reduces the risk of injuries and osteoporosis. - It improves balance and coordination, which are particularly important in older age. - It supports metabolism (calorie burning) and helps maintain a healthy weight. - It promotes mental stability thanks to the endorphins released during exercise, improving stress management and mood. Overall, exercise not only helps build muscle but also contributes to a healthy, active later life. Physical activity also improves sleep quality, which leads to better stress tolerance.
