Walking and jogging are often promoted as effective entry-level exercises for long-term health, but did you know that the key to strengthening muscle function may lie in anaerobic exercise? This week on Aging Less: The Longevity Science Insights Podcast, host Marie Stella interviews exercise scientist Associate Professor Justin Keogh. Also a behavioral researcher, Associate Professor Justin Keogh is the Associate Dean of Research and the Head of Exercise and Sports Science at Bond University. His research focuses on better understanding the relationship between muscle mass, strength and physical performance in athletes as well as older adults at risk of disability and poor health outcomes. Impressively, to better translate his research evidence, he uses a variety of qualitative approaches to better understand the determinants of physical activity and exercise in a variety of older adult groups. In this episode, Associate Professor Justin Keogh sheds light on what anaerobic training is, distinguishing it from the more well-known high-intensity interval training (HIIT). He reveals that musculoskeletal issues are a popular concern amongst the aging population, which can be addressed through early interventions of anaerobic training, as opposed to walking or jogging, which are more commonly promoted in public health. Together, Marie and Associate Professor Justin Keogh canvass the common struggles that people face when attempting to incorporate anaerobic exercise into their routines, and discuss the various ways to manage them. So, whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or simply interested in maintaining your vitality as you age, tune in to this episode for valuable evidence-based insights on anaerobic training!
