Aerobic training can reverse the aging processes at the cellular level. This is evidenced by the results of a new study conducted by the staff of the Mayo Clinic.

The study showed that due to interval training of high intensity (cardio), for example, running or walking, the level of muscle protein rises, and, accordingly, the energy level. In addition, the muscles increase.

According to the researchers, such exercises are particularly useful for people over 65. The fact is that cardiovascular work affects the aging process at the cellular level.

All elderly people reduce the number of mitochondria (the so-called "energy stations" of cells). In addition, the mitochondria start to work worse.

Interval training of high intensity contributes to the synthesis of new proteins, which helps reverse the negative effects of aging. Scientists say that by adding strength training to cardio training, older people can significantly increase the strength of their muscles, and they will stay young for longer.
