PEAK FITNESS DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE
Remember your 20s’ body? Researchers report that physical fitness peaks at about 20 years of age and stays there into the early 30s. That is when the fitness levels start to drop gradually into old age. The good news is that those who have the best fitness levels in their 20s typically stay physically healthy and use less healthcare services during their lives. Adolescence is the most important stage in all our lives. It’s when our cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, skeletal, and muscular strength are developed, 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 develops osteoporosis and may feel its difficulties later in life. Physical activity and nutrition are issues that teens have control of to build the best bodies they can for their lifetime. (1) Do they? Executive Chiropractic of Iowa recognizes that adolescent teens don’t think about these things. The teen years have many other distractions drawing their interest!
HOW CAN WE HELP West Des Moines TEENS BUILD THE BEST BODIES POSSIBLE?
Competition and activity seem to work! The best 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 equipped with pedometers and monitored their steps for 12 weeks. Students in this study all ended up doing more physical activity both in in-school and in after-school activities. Their cardiorespiratory fitness increased. Body fat and waist-to-height ratios decreased. The leisure-time physical activity increased for a year after the intervention.
