A recent study published by the Journal of Applied Physiology has reconfirmed that strength training boosts metabolism and improves body composition. Researchers at the University of Alabama took a group of men and women (61-77 years of age) and had them participate in a three-day-per-week strength-training program for six months. After six-months, the volunteer’s who participated in the study got much stronger, lost 6 pounds of fat, gained 4.5 pounds of lean tissue, started participating in more leisure time activities on a regular basis and had 12% increase in total energy expenditure (total calories burned per day).
