How Much Recovery Do Older Adults Need Between Workouts? A Scientific Take.

Share this:

Recently I posted a short video on YouTube and Instagram encouraging older adults to proactively schedule and integrate rest and/or recovery-based exercise sessions into their week or training program.

This video titled “How Much Recovery Do Older Adults Need Between Workouts? A Scientific Take” explores some of the evidence to consider for older adults when trying to maximise muscle regrowth, muscle strength and physical functionality.



Such programming considerations are often overlooked or underestimated by Exercise Physiologists, Exercise Scientists, Physiotherapists, Personal Trainers and individuals themselves.

The following delves into some of science that can now help guide these decisions to help inform better practice so that older adults can optimise how they exercise, when and why.
