PEAK FITNESS DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE

Remember when you were in your 20s? Researchers report that physical fitness peaks at around 20 years of age and stays high into the early 30s. That is when the fitness levels begin 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 phase in all our lives. It is when our cardiovascular, cardiorespiratory, skeletal, and muscular strength are formed, creating 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 gets osteoporosis and may feel its effects later in life. Physical activity and nutrition are things that teenagers have the ability to influence the building of the best bodies they can for their lifetime. (1) Do they? Connected Chiropractic knows adolescent teens don’t worry about these things. The teen years have many other distractions drawing their interest!

HOW CAN WE HELP Elgin 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 showed more physical activity both in in-school and in after-school activities. Their cardiorespiratory fitness improved. Body fat and waist-to-height ratios reduced. The leisure-time physical activity improved even a year after the intervention.
