True.
It would have to be leg and muscle mass that is the answer on a+
age and muscle mass
Without consistent strength training, muscle size and strength decline with age. An inactive person loses 1/2 pound of muscle per year after age 20. After age 60, this rate of loss doubles. But, muscle loss is not inevitable. With regular strength training, muscle mass can be preserved throughout the lifespan, and the muscle lost can be rebuilt. Source: SparkPeople.com
No, water does not increase with age. Our body's water content may fluctuate based on factors like hydration status and muscle mass, but overall the total amount of water in the body does not increase with age.
Men typically lose muscle mass as they age due to a combination of factors, including a decrease in testosterone levels, reduced physical activity, and lower protein intake. These changes can lead to muscle atrophy and a decrease in muscle strength and size over time. Regular resistance training and a balanced diet can help mitigate muscle loss with age.
Muscle development typically starts in infancy and continues through childhood, adolescence, and into adulthood. The rate at which you gain muscle mass and strength can vary depending on factors such as genetics, nutrition, exercise, and hormone levels. Regular strength training and proper nutrition can help you build and maintain muscle mass at any age.
Generally speaking an increase in muscle mass tends to be one of the later stages of puberty. Puberty can start at any age from 9 years old right up until the later teens. It usually it usually starts at around 12 or 13 years of age. Puberty lasts on average for around 6 years and muscle mass tends to increase towards the end of this period. So for a boy who started puberty aged 12 you might probably expect to see an noticable increase in muscle mass at around 16 or 17 years of age. Remember though that averages are just mathematical statistics and in the real world some boys might develop an increase in muscle mass sooner or later than the "average."
To prevent loss of muscle mass your goal should be to build muscle mass. This is obtained through exercise; specifically weight lifting or just something that keeps you active. As you age it may be more difficult to engage in the activities you used to. It is recommended that elderly people par take in Tai Chi to keep up muscle strength. Do not do yoga if trying to gain strength. Yoga makes you flexible and it feels good but it decreases your muscle tone making it more difficult to build up strength. Hope this helps!
sarcopenia A+
Sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is the age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function, which can lead to functional limitations and decreased quality of life in older adults. Regular physical activity and resistance training can help prevent or slow down the progression of sarcopenia.
Oh sure. You'll have to work a bit harder for it as compared to a younger person though.
