Answer to Question 1

The Heritage Family Study compared the effects of a 20-week strength training program on older and younger men and women. Results showed that the training response differed by gender and by race, but not by age. Training exercises led to increases in fat-free mass; decreases in total, subcutaneous, and visceral fat mass; and to weight loss.
Regular physical activity, including strengthening and flexibility exercise, contributes to maintenance of functional status.
