During the study, Stewart and his team asked 115 men and women between the ages of 55 and 75 to either try to follow general government recommendations on exercise for 6 months, or participate in exercise training under supervision 3 times each week, doing stretching, resistance training and aerobics.
People who followed the supervised exercise program showed improvements in upper and lower body strength, total strength, lean mass, body weight, total and abdominal body fat.”
