Discussion on Declining Power and Strength with Age and Training Methods to Improve Power

On this episode I spoke with Frances who is a Sports & Exercise Physiotherapist who has a special interest in bone health. 

On this episode we dived into all things bone health and what we can do to optimise it, particularly from a physical activitiy perspective. 

We discussed why you should care about your bone density.

We clarified terms like osteoporisis, osteopenia, and what the consequences of these conditions are. 

We then went through what you can do about your bone health no matter what stage of life you are.

Resistance training - and specifically what types of exercises and how intense they need to be.

Impact training - multi-directinoal and why bones become deaf to repetitive loading.
