flag Swedish study finds fitness declines after 35, but exercise can still help at any age.

flag A 47-year Swedish study tracking individuals from age 16 to 63 finds physical fitness and strength begin declining around age 35, with the drop accelerating over time. flag Conducted by Karolinska Institutet and published in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, the research shows that even starting exercise later in life can improve physical capacity by 5% to 10%, proving it’s never too late to benefit. flag While exercise can’t stop decline entirely, it significantly slows it. flag The study continues, with participants to be reevaluated at age 68.
