PEAK FITNESS DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE

Remember when you were in your 20s? Researchers say that physical fitness peaks at around 20 years of age and stays there into the early 30s. That’s when the fitness levels start to drop steadily into old age. The good news is that those who have the high fitness levels in their 20s usually stay physically healthy and use less healthcare services throughout their lives. Adolescence is the most important period in all our lives. It is when our cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, skeletal, and muscular strength are built, forming the foundation of health for life. Bone mineral density (BMD) peaks in the late teen years. BMD is the main factor in whether a person acquires osteoporosis and may feel its effects in later life. Physical activity and nutrition are things that teenagers have control of to build the best bodies they can for their future. (1) Do they? Chiropractic Associates knows adolescent teens do not think about these things. The teen years have many other distractions demanding their attention!

HOW CAN WE HELP Preston TEENS BUILD THE BEST BODIES POSSIBLE?

Competition and activity seem to work! The most efficient ways to get teens to as peak a fitness level as possible is to encourage them to move early in life. One study set up competition among student groups outfitted with pedometers and monitored their steps for 12 weeks. Students in this study all showed more physical activity both in in-school and in after-school activities. Their cardiorespiratory fitness improved. Body fat and waist-to-height ratios reduced. The leisure-time physical activity improved even a year after the intervention.
