I found Dr. I-Min Lee, a professor of medical medicine at Harvard Medical School. This video In « Viva Longevity » channel. Above all, she is one of the two major investigators in famous women’s health studies and is in a good position to provide science -based advice on physical activity on health. I knew she was rich and pleased with knowledge!
My favorite anecdote Dr. Ralph Parserables. He was a historian who pioneered to study the connection between physical activity and health, and was a serious early marathon. When they attend meetings together, people will ask him what the recent running achievements are, and will cite an impressive time at the recent event. Sometimes they returned to her and asked, « And what do you do for exercise? » And she had to answer, « There is nothing. » She grew up in Malaysia, she described it very hot and stupid, and she did not inspire you to do a lot of physical activity.
As a result, she realized that she would do a better work in her life so that she accepted her research more seriously. This knows that we must work physically for health, but it is not necessarily inspired by exercising. And through her scientific knowledge, she can show us healthy and the right type of activity.
I was happy to hear that she checked it General guidelines If you try to get a 150 -minute physical activity (active walking, etc.) per week, about 90%of the health benefits are created. For those who enjoy it, this amount does not harm up to 10 times. However, after the minimum recommended amount, the benefit rate is slightly increased. This can be in a dedicated session with several sessions accumulated 30 minutes or all weeks or all weeks. Therefore, the activities of everyday life, for example, use stairs instead of elevators, or parking and walking a little more. Another interesting anecdote she gave is that her department in Harvard is on the third floor of the building and Dr. Lee always takes the stairs. But many people on her floor use the elevator instead, and when the service is interrupted, they remain in the lobby as if they were not sure what to do.
The main thing that she deals with for those who want to count herself is that there is no scientific basis for the famous « 10000 Steps » goal. This originated from the marketing of a small company. Women’s health studies have been confirmed that the 7500 steps are actually more accurate (of course there is no problem with 10000, but you don’t have to get health benefits).
This particular video did not deal with strength training for the elderly, but I am convinced that there is a lot of insight into Dr. LEE’s research. There is more information in the book she edited. Mechanical method in physical activity research.

I am a machine engineer born in 1980, in 1953. I have been active in the mechanical CAE field for decades. I am also interested in outdoor activities and physical strength. I replaced the two buttocks and replaced the heart valve replacement because of the genetic condition. This blog makes my adventures a chronological chronology in maintaining an active state despite these collisions on the road.
