Weight Training Linked to Significant Reduction in Biological Age
A study of 4,800 people found that 90 minutes of weekly weight training was associated with 3.9 years less biological aging, based on telomere length analysis, with 180 minutes linked to 7.8 years less aging; however, correlation does not equal causation.
