Fitness Swellness: Running is antiaging

November 28, 2014

According to new research published in the journal PloS One running can slow the aging process.

As we get older, our horsepower (or max aerobic capacity) declines, but when researchers studied a group of adults who ran or walked three times a week for at least half an hour each time over a period of six months, the ones who ran benefited from improved horsepower (or lower metabolic cost of walking), and easier movement and better quality of life.

So run on, runner, run on.
